Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Tomcat Connectors versions 1.2.9-beta through 1.2.49

Description The issue allows local users to view and modify shared memory containing mod jk configuration, which may lead to information disclosure and/or denial of service. This issue affects Apache Tomcat Connectors on Unix-like systems, but neither the ISAPI redirector nor mod jk on Windows is affected.

Recommendations For versions 1.2.9-beta through 1.2.49, upgrade to version 1.2.50, which fixes the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the shared memory containing mod jk configuration to minimize the risk of exploitation.
