CVE-2013-2071: Infoleak
First published: Fri May 10 2013(Updated: )
An information disclosure flaw was found in the way asynchronous context implementation of Apache Tomcat, an Apache Servlet/JSP Engine, performed request information management in certain circumstances (formerly certain elements of a previous request might have been exposed to the current request). If an application used AsyncListeners that threw RuntimeExceptions, a remote attacker could use this flaw to possibly obtain sensitive information.
