Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#993544Apache Tomcat fails to properly handle cookies containing single quotesOverviewApache Tomcat fails to properly handle cookies that contain a single quote, which may allow session hijacking.I. DescriptionApache Tomcat is an implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Page (JSP) technologies. Apache Tomcat incorrectly treats a single quote as a cookie delimiter. This can cause the Tomcat cookie parsing mechanism to improperly handle all of the cookies in the cookie string that follow the cookie with the single quote. According to the vendor, the following versions of Apache Tomcat are affected6.0.0 to 6.0.13 II. ImpactThis vulnerability can increase the possibility of a session hijacking success. In the presense of a cross-site scripting vulnerability, it may allow a denial-of-service attack against a web site by preventing a client from being able to log in using cookies.III. SolutionApply an updateThis vulnerability is addressed in Apache Tomcat 6.0.14. Please check the Apache Tomcat Security page for availability of fixes for this and other versions of Tomcat.
