Description Lars Hartmann 2007-06-19 16:50:42 UTC
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache Tomcat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "Accept-Language" header is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site, e.g. via a specially crafted Flash file.

The vulnerability affects the following versions:
* Tomcat 4.0.0 to 4.0.6
* Tomcat 4.1.0 to 4.1.34
* Tomcat 5.0.0 to 5.0.30
* Tomcat 5.5.0 to 5.5.20
* Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.5

Solution:
Update to 4.1.36, 5.5.21, 5.0.HEAD, or 6.0.6.

Provided and/or discovered by:
The vendor credits Masato Anzai and Toshiharu Sugiyama.
