Descriptions

org/apache/catalina/connector/CoyoteAdapter.java in Apache Tomcat 6.0.33 through 6.0.37 does not consider the disableURLRewriting setting when handling a session ID in a URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct session fixation attacks via a crafted URL.

org/apache/catalina/connector/CoyoteAdapter.java en Apache Tomcat 6.0.33 hasta 6.0.37 no considera la configuración disableURLRewriting cuando maneja un ID de sesión en una URL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de fijación de sesión a través de una URL manipulada.

It was found that previous fixes in Tomcat 6 to path parameter handling introduced a regression that caused Tomcat to not properly disable URL rewriting to track session IDs when the disableURLRewriting option was enabled. A man-in-the-middle attacker could potentially use this flaw to hijack a user's session.
