Descriptions

When the default servlet in Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.33 and 7.0.23 to 7.0.90 returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to '/foo/' when the user requested '/foo') a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.

Cuando el servlet por defecto en Apache Tomcat en versiones de la 9.0.0.M1 a la 9.0.11, de la 8.5.0 a la 8.5.33 y de la 7.0.23 a la 7.0.90 devolvía una redirección a un directorio (por ejemplo, redirigiendo a "/foo/'' cuando el usuario solicitó '"/foo") se pudo usar una URL especialmente manipulada para hacer que la redirección se generara a cualquier URI de la elección del atacante.
