Descriptions

Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37, 5.5.0 through 5.5.26, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.16, when a RequestDispatcher is used, performs path normalization before removing the query string from the URI, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a request parameter.

Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 hasta la 4.1.37, 5.5.0 hasta la 5.5.26 y 6.0.0 hasta la 6.0.16, cuando se utiliza RequestDispatcher, realiza una regularización de ruta antes de eliminar la cadena de consulta desde la URI, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos dirigir ataques de salto de directorio y leer archivos arbitrariamente mediante un .. (punto punto) en un parametro request.
