Descriptions

Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.31 allows remote attackers to bypass an IP address restriction and obtain sensitive information via a request that is processed concurrently with another request but in a different thread, leading to an instance-variable overwrite associated with a "synchronization problem" and lack of thread safety, and related to RemoteFilterValve, RemoteAddrValve, and RemoteHostValve.

Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 y 4.1.0 hasta la 4.1.31 permite a atacantes remotos eludir una restricción de dirección IP y obtener información sensible a través de una solicitud que se tramita simultáneamente con otra petición, pero en otro hilo, lo que lleva a una sobreescritura de una variable de instancia asociada con un "problema de sincronización" y con un fallo de seguridad en la implementación de los hilos, relacionada con RemoteFilterValve, RemoteAddrValve, y RemoteHostValve.
