Detail

A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in Apache Tomcat 4.0.x releases, which allows to use a specially crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page, or, under special circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been protected by a security constraint, without the need for being properly authenticated. This is based on a variant of the exploit that was identified as CAN-2002-1148.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-3woody2.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain tomcat packages.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem does not exist in the current version 4.1.16-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat packages.

Apache Tomcat contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to gain access to file source code. The issue is due to the default servlet (org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet) allowing requests directly to it, which will allow an attacker to view the source code for server files.
