CVE-2014-8111 Tomcat mod_jk: information leak due to incorrect JkMount/JkUnmount directives processing
Last modified: 2018-01-30 07:24:54 EST
A vulnerability has been found in the mod_jk connector relating to the use of JkMount and JkUnmount. A JkUnmount rule for a subtree of a previous JkMount rule could be ignored. This could allow a remote attacker to potentially access a private artifact in a directory tree that would otherwise not be accessible to them. If you use a mount rule like JkMount /a/b/* myworker Then JkUnmount /a/b/private/* myworker Artifacts in the private folder would still be accessible. This vulnerability affected all versions of mod_jk.
