Apache Tomcat JK Connector (mod_jk) < 1.2.46 Authentication Bypass Vulnerability - Linux. The Apache Web Server specific code that normalised the requested path before matching it to the URI-worker map in Apache Tomcat JK Connector did not handle some edge cases correctly, allowing for an authentication bypass vulnerability. Update to version 1.2.46 or later
