Description William L. Thomson Jr. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-14 17:45:45 UTC 
Severity:
Low (Session Hi-jacking)

Vendor:
The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
6.0.0 to 6.0.13
5.5.0 to 5.5.24
5.0.0 to 5.0.30
4.1.0 to 4.1.36
3.3 to 3.3.2

Description:
Tomcat incorrectly treats a single quote character (') in a cookie
value as a delimiter. In some circumstances this can lead to the
leaking of information such as session ID to an attacker.

Mitigation:
Upgrade to 6.0.14
Comment 1 William L. Thomson Jr. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-08-14 17:49:14 UTC 
6.0.14 is in tree, recently requested stabilization of 6.0.13. We might rush stabilize 6.0.14. No changes to package short of upstream code modifications, which mostly seem to be bug fixes and etc.
