Detail

Synopsis

An error in the Apache Tomcat JK Connector might allow for an information disclosure flaw.

Background

The Apache Tomcat JK Connector (aka mod_jk) connects the Tomcat application server with the Apache HTTP Server.

Description

The Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that mod_jk does not properly handle (1) requests setting the "Content-Length" header while not providing data and (2) clients sending repeated requests very quickly.

Impact

A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests or a large number of requests at a time, possibly resulting in the disclosure of a response intended for another client.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Apache Tomcat JK Connector users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.27"

Title: DSA-1810-1 libapache-mod-jk -- information disclosure
Description: An information disclosure flaw was found in mod_jk, the Tomcat Connector module for Apache. If a buggy client included the "Content-Length" header without providing request body data, or if a client sent repeated equests very quickly, one client could obtain a response intended for another client. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.26-2+lenny1. The oldstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.18-3etch2. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.26-2.1. We recommend that you upgrade your libapache-mod-jk packages.
