ReadMessage.jsp in JavaMail API 1.1.3 through 1.3, as used by Apache Tomcat 5.0.16, allows remote attackers to view other users' e-mail attachments via a direct request to /mailboxesdir/username@domainname. NOTE: Sun and Apache dispute this issue. Sun states: "The report makes references to source code and files that do not exist in the mentioned products.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old CVE describes an alleged information disclosure issue where a remote user could view other users' email attachments in a JavaMail-related web component. The record is weak: Sun and Apache disputed the report, and the CVE itself says referenced files may not exist in the named products. Exposure appears limited to legacy environments that actually deployed the disputed JavaMail/Tomcat mail web component or similar mailbox attachment handling. The source bundle does not support treating all JavaMail or Tomcat installations as affected. Treat this as a legacy hygiene and exposure-verification item, not a confirmed emergency. Prioritize only if old Tomcat/JavaMail mail functionality is internet-facing or handles sensitive attachments. Mitigation focus: Check Apache and Sun/Oracle guidance before assuming impact or remediation.; Inventory legacy Tomcat 5 and JavaMail webmail/sample deployments.; Remove or disable nonessential mail sample pages if present..
