CVE-2005-4836: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

May 1, 2022 (updated September 18, 2023)

The HTTP/1.1 connector in Apache Tomcat 4.1.15 through 4.1.40 does not reject NULL bytes in a URL when allowLinking is configured, which allows remote attackers to read JSP source files and obtain sensitive information.
