Apache Tomcat Reveals Directories
Apache Tomcat 5 before 5.5.17 allows remote attackers to list directories via a semicolon (`;`) preceding a filename with a mapped extension, as demonstrated by URLs ending with `/;index.jsp` and `/;help.do`.

Cross-site scripting in Apache Tomcat
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the calendar application example in Apache Tomcat 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, 4.1.0 through 4.1.31, 5.0.0 through 5.0.30, and 5.5.0 through 5.5.15 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the time parameter to cal2.jsp and possibly unspecified other vectors.  NOTE: this may be related to CVE-2006-0254.1.

Apache Tomcat Allows Remote Attackers to Spoof AJP Requests
Certain AJP protocol connector implementations in Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 through 7.0.20, 6.0.0 through 6.0.33, 5.5.0 through 5.5.33, and possibly other versions allow remote attackers to spoof AJP requests, bypass authentication, and obtain sensitive information by causing the connector to interpret a request body as a new request.

Mozilla developers added support in the Network Security Services
module for preventing a type of man-in-the-middle attack against TLS
using forced renegotiation.Note that to benefit from the fix, Firefox 3.6 and
Firefox 3.5 users will need to set
their security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation preference to
true.  Firefox 3 does not contain the fix for this issue.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in implicit-objects.jsp in Apache Tomcat 5.0.0 through 5.0.30 and 5.5.0 through 5.5.17 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via certain header values.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, when FORM authentication is used, allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames via requests to /j_security_check with malformed URL encoding of passwords, related to improper error checking in the (1) MemoryRealm, (2) DataSourceRealm, and (3) JDBCRealm authentication realms, as demonstrated by a % (percent) value for the j_password parameter.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Absolute path traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, 4.1.0, 5.0.0, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, under certain configurations, allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a WebDAV write request that specifies an entity with a SYSTEM tag.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.13, 5.5.0 to 5.5.24, 5.0.0 to 5.0.30, 4.1.0 to 4.1.36, and 3.3 to 3.3.2 treats single quotes ("'") as delimiters in cookies, which might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked and allow remote attackers to conduct session hijacking attacks.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in certain JSP files in the examples web application in Apache Tomcat 4.0.0 through 4.0.6, 4.1.0 through 4.1.36, 5.0.0 through 5.0.30, 5.5.0 through 5.5.24, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.13 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the portion of the URI after the ';' character, as demonstrated by a URI containing a "snp/snoop.jsp;" sequence.

Improper Neutralization
Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19 (Coyote/1.1) and Tomcat 4.1.24 (Coyote/1.0) allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a Content-Length header, which causes Tomcat to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka "HTTP Request Smuggling."
