DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache Tomcat, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information and bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to Apache Tomcat incorrectly
processing certain requests, which can be exploited to inject
arbitrary AJP messages and e.g. disclose potentially sensitive
information or bypass the authentication mechanism.

Successful exploitation requires that the
org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler AJP connector is not used, POST
requests are accepted, and the request body is not processed.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 5.5.0 through 5.5.33, 6.0.0
through 6.0.33, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.20.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository. Update to versions 5.5.34, 6.0.34, or
7.0.21 when available.
