| <access>remote</access> |
| <affected> |
| <package name="www-apache/mod_jk" auto="yes" arch="*"> |

| <background> |
| <p> |
| The Apache Tomcat JK Connector (aka mod_jk) connects the Tomcat |
| application server with the Apache HTTP Server. |
| </p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="low"> |
| <p> |
| 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. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p> |
| There is no known workaround at this time. |
| </p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p> |
| All Apache Tomcat JK Connector users should upgrade to the latest |
| version: |
| </p> |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.27"</code> |
| </resolution> |
