tomcat: Incorrect handling of empty string URL in security constraints can lead to unintended exposure of resources

The URL pattern of "" the empty string which exactly maps to the context root was not correctly handled in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.84 when used as part of a security constraint definition. This caused the constraint to be ignored. It...

F5 Networks BIG-IP : Apache Tomcat 6.x vulnerability (K34341852)

The Mapper component in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.67, 8.x before 8.0.30, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 processes redirects before considering security constraints and Filters, which allows remote attackers to determine the existence of a directory via a URL that lacks a trailing /...

Authorization Bypass

tomcat-catalina is vulnerable to authorization bypass. URL patterns of empty strings were not handled correctly and caused the server to ignore such security constraints when the urlPattern for a servlet is mapped to " ". This allows an attacker to bypass said security constraints and gain...

Security Constraint Bypass

tomcat-catalina is vulnerable to security constraint bypass. Security constraints are only applied after a servlet has already been loaded. Depending on the order in which the servlets were loaded, its possible that some of the constraints were not applied at all. Leveraging this, users may have...
