CVE-2008-4308: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

May 2, 2022 (updated February 9, 2024)

The doRead method in Apache Tomcat 4.1.32 through 4.1.34 and 5.5.10 through 5.5.20 does not return a -1 to indicate when a certain error condition has occurred, which can cause Tomcat to send POST content from one request to a different request.
