Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was found that previous fixes in Tomcat 6 to path parameter handling introduced a regression that caused Tomcat to not properly disable URL rewriting to track session IDs when the disableURLRewriting option was enabled. A man-in-the-middle attacker could potentially use this flaw to hijack a user's session.

Description Vincent Danen 2014-02-25 17:37:46 EST 
Previous fixes in Tomcat 6 [1] to path parameter handling introduced a regression that meant session IDs provided in the URL were considered even when disableURLRewriting was configured to true. Note that the session is only used for that single request.

This flaw only affects Tomcat 6.0.33 up to and including 6.0.37.  Tomcat 6.0.39 corrects this issue [2].

Comment 1 Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-03-04 00:21:48 EST 
Statement:

This issue did not affect JBoss Web, as shipped with various Red Hat JBoss products.

The disableURLRewriting property was introduced in Apache Tomcat 6.0.30. All versions of Apache Tomcat prior to 6.0.30 are not affected by this flaw, as the affected feature is not present.

Tomcat 6 as shipped with Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.0 and above is affected by this flaw. Tomcat 6 as shipped with Red Hat JBoss Web Server 1.0.2 is not affected by this flaw. Tomcat 6 as shipped with Red Hat JBoss Web Server prior to 1.0.2 is not affected by this flaw, as the disableURLRewriting property is not supported. 

Tomcat 6 as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is based on Apache Tomcat 6.0.24 and is not affected by this flaw, as this flaw was introduced only in Apache Tomcat 6.0.33.
