NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat6-admin-webapps package and not the tomcat6-admin-webapps package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 does not place org.apache.catalina.manager.StatusManagerServlet on the org/apache/catalina/core/RestrictedServlets.properties list, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and read arbitrary HTTP requests, and consequently discover session ID values, via a crafted web application.
