Description

Apache Tomcat when configured to use the Proxy module contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to gain access to privileged information. The issue is due to the server not properly sanitizing user requested URIs containing crafted sequences with combinations of the "/" (slash), "\" (backslash) and a URL-encoded backslash (%5C) characters. This may allow an attacker to use a URI with a crafted traversal sequence and access arbitrary files.
