Information Disclosure in org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (CVE-2021-24122)

Summary

Vulnerability in org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (CVE-2021-24122). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Mitigation: upgrade to 7.0.107 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

When serving resources from a network location using the NTFS file system, Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0 through 9.0.39, 8.5.0 to 8.5.59 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.106 were susceptible to JSP source code disclosure in some configurations. The root cause was the unexpected behaviour of the JRE API File.getCanonicalPath() which in turn was caused by the inconsistent behaviour of the Windows API (FindFirstFileW) in some circumstances.
