Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apache Software Foundation Tomcat Servlet versions prior to 3.2.2

Description: The issue allows a remote attacker to read the source code of arbitrary 'jsp' files via a specially crafted URL. This can be achieved by sending a malformed URL request that does not end with an HTTP protocol specification, such as HTTP/1.0. The estimated number of potentially affected devices and details about real-world incidents are not provided.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 3.2.2, update to version 3.2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive JSP files until the update is applied.
