Discussion

Apache Tomcat AJP Connector Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Apache Tomcat is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because of an error in the AJP connector that causes inaccurate chunk lengths to be delivered by 'send_body_chunks' AJP messages.

Attackers can leverage this issue to obtain potentially sensitive data that could aid in other attacks.

Tomcat 5.5.15 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
