A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Apache Tomcat 6.0.33/6.0.34/6.0.35/6.0.36/6.0.37 (Application Server Software). Affected is the function disableURLRewriting
of the file org/apache/catalina/connector/coyoteadapter.java. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability (Session Hijacking). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the
properties that are required to process the data safely and
correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, and integrity. CVE summarizes:
org/apache/catalina/connector/CoyoteAdapter.java in Apache Tomcat 6.0.33 through 6.0.37 does not consider the disableURLRewriting setting when handling a session ID in a URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct session fixation attacks via a crafted URL.
