CVE-2018-1323: Infoleak

Published Mar 12, 2018
·
Updated

The IIS/ISAPI specific code in the Apache Tomcat JK ISAPI Connector 1.2.0 to 1.2.42 that normalised the requested path before matching it to the URI-worker map did not handle some edge cases correctly. If only a sub-set of the URLs supported by Tomcat were exposed via IIS, then it was possible for a specially constructed request to expose application functionality through the reverse proxy that was not intended for clients accessing Tomcat via the reverse proxy.

Other sources

The ISAPI redirector code in Apache Tomcat JK Connector before version 1.2.43 does not properly handle HTTP request paths in certain edge cases. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a crafted request to expose application functionality through the reverse proxy.
