Background ========== The Apache Tomcat JK Connector (aka mod_jk) connects the Tomcat application server with the Apache HTTP Server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-apache/mod_jk < 1.2.27 >= 1.2.27 Description =========== The Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that mod_jk does not properly handle (1) requests setting the "Content-Length" header while not providing data and (2) clients sending repeated requests very quickly. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests or a large number of requests at a time, possibly resulting in the disclosure of a response intended for another client. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Apache Tomcat JK Connector users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.27" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-5519 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-5519 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200906-04.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
