Description |
The code in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.6,
8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.38, 7.0.0 to 7.0.72, and 6.0.0 to 6.0.47 that parsed
the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This could be
exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid
characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into
the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker
could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack and/or obtain
sensitive information from requests other then their own.
