Description The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the argument to "source.jsp". This is a directory traversal vulnerability in the source.jsp file of Apache Tomcat.

Recommendations For Apache Tomcat versions prior to 3.1, consider restricting access to the source.jsp file until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the ..
