CVE-2009-2902

Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en Apache Tomcat desde v5.5.0 hasta v5.5.28 y desde v6.0.0 hasta v6.0.20 permite a atacantes remotos borrar ficheros del directorio de trabajo a través de secuencias de salto de directorio en un nombre de fichero WAR, como se demuestra en ..war nombre de fichero.

Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36 does not properly handle characters or sequences in a cookie value, which might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3385. Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, and possibly earlier versions normalizes the target pathname before filtering the query string when using the RequestDispatcher method, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and conduct directory traversal attacks via. sequences and the WEB-INF directory in a Request. Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, when the Java AJP connector and mod_jk load balancing are used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted request with invalid headers, related to temporary blocking of connectors that have encountered errors, as demonstrated by an error involving a malformed HTTP Host header. Other issues have also been addressed.
