Aliases CVE-2008-2370
Summary Apache Tomcat Path Traversal Vulnerability Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37, 5.5.0 through 5.5.26, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.16, when a `RequestDispatcher` is used, performs path normalization before removing the query string from the URI, which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files via a `..` (dot dot) in a request parameter.
