CVE-2005-3164: Apache Tomcat

Low severity, CVSS 2.6. EPSS: 6.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The AJP connector in Apache Tomcat 4.0.1 through 4.0.6 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36, as used in Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server and standalone, does not properly handle when a connection is broken before request body data is sent in a POST request, which can lead to an information leak when "unsuitable request body data" is used for a different request, possibly related to Java Servlet pages.

Affected products

• Apache Tomcat: from 4.0.1, up to and including 4.0.6; from 4.1.0, up to and including 4.1.36
• Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server: version 05_00_05_05_e only; version 05_00_05_05_f only; version 05_00_05_05_h only; version 05_00_05_05_k only
