Description Sam Fowler 2018-01-30 06:32:18 UTC 
Spring Framework and Spring Security do not consider URL path parameters when processing security constraints. By adding a URL path parameter with special encodings, an attacker may be able to bypass a security constraint and access Spring MVC static resource URLs.

Affected versions include:
    * Spring Security 4.1.0 - 4.1.4, 4.2.0 - 4.2.3 and 5.0
    * Spring Framework 4.3.0 - 4.3.14, and 5.0.0 - 5.0.2

Older unmaintained versions of Spring Security and Spring Framework may also be affected.

Mitigation:

As a general precaution, users are encouraged to separate public and private resources. For example, separating static resources and mapping them to /resources/public/** and /resources/private/** is preferred to having one common root with mixed public and private resource content underneath.

Comment 2 Hooman Broujerdi 2018-02-13 04:32:34 UTC 
Jetty container in JBoss Fuse complies with servlet specification and does not return path parameters which is a root cause of this flaw, so JBoss Fuse is not affected.

*** Bug 1541996 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Summer Long 2018-03-08 22:03:20 UTC 
For RH OpenStack Platform: Although the spring code contains the flaw, OpenDaylight uses Tomcat which is not vulnerable. "Tomcat follows the guidance previously provided by the Servlet Expert group and strips path parameters from the value returned by getContextPath(), getServletPath() and getPathInfo() [1]."

catalina-7.0.27.1 used in ODL is from 2012 after the fixes. Should be ok.
