NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-jsvc package and not the tomcat-jsvc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Directory traversal vulnerability in RequestUtil.java in Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.45, 7.x before 7.0.65, and 8.x before 8.0.27 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and list a parent directory via a /.. (slash dot dot) in a pathname used by a web application in a getResource, getResourceAsStream, or getResourcePaths call, as demonstrated by the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps directory.
