Exploit-DB
Apache Tomcat 6.0.15 - Cookie Quote Handling Remote Information Disclosure
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27706/info
Apache Tomcat is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied data.
Attackers can exploit this issue to access potentially sensitive data that may aid in further attacks.
Versions prior to Apache Tomcat 6.0.16 and 5.5.26 are vulnerable.
NOTE: This vulnerability is caused by an incomplete fix for BID 25316 - Apache Tomcat Multiple Remote Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities (CVE-2007-3385).
