CVE-2008-5519 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-5519):
  The JK Connector (aka mod_jk) 1.2.0 through 1.2.26 in Apache Tomcat
  allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an
  arbitrary request from an HTTP client, in opportunistic circumstances
  involving (1) a request from a different client that included a
  Content-Length header but no POST data or (2) a rapid series of
  requests, related to noncompliance with the AJP protocol's
  requirements for requests containing Content-Length headers.
