RE: JSP source code exposure in Tomcat 4.x

["Martin Robson" <bugtraq () radialsoftware com>]

No your best bet is to comment out the following line (and no it won't
be all on one line) from your web.xml file then schedule to upgrade to
Tomcat 4.1.12 Stable or Tomcat 4.0.5.

<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

The Jakarta Team has already posted a response to this bug, it can be
viewed here: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news.html

Quicker (brute) method - remove completely
$TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib/servlets-default.jar.
The server complains but applications seem to work correctly (unless
you're using it).

Stated for Tomcat version 4.0.1, 4.0.4 and 4.1.10.
