Apache Tomcat Denial of Service and File Access Bypass Vulnerability

CVE-2011-2526 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:L/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.19, when sendfile is enabled for the HTTP APR or HTTP NIO connector, does not validate certain request attributes, which allows local users to bypass intended file access restrictions or cause a denial of service (infinite loop or JVM crash) by leveraging an untrusted web application.
