CVE-2008-0002: Apache Tomcat Sensitive Information Disclosure

May 1, 2022 (updated February 9, 2024)

Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.15 processes parameters in the context of the wrong request when an exception occurs during parameter processing, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by disconnecting during this processing in order to trigger the exception.
