The AJP connector in Apache Tomcat 4.0.1 through 4.0.6 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36, as used in Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server and standalone, does not properly handle when a connection is broken before request body data is sent in a POST request, which can lead to an information leak when "unsuitable request body data" is used for a different request, possibly related to Java Servlet pages.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Apache Tomcat AJP connector information leak. A broken POST request could leave request body data available to a different request. The disclosed affected range is Tomcat 4.0.1-4.0.6 and 4.1.0-4.1.36, including use in Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server. Exposure is most plausible in legacy environments still running Tomcat 4.x AJP or Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server components using those Tomcat versions. Modern systems are not shown as affected by the supplied sources. Handle through legacy risk management. This should be urgent only if affected Tomcat-era platforms remain in production or handle sensitive data. Otherwise, track as a cleanup and assurance item. Mitigation focus: Inventory Tomcat 4.x and Hitachi Cosminexus Application Server deployments.; Check Apache, Hitachi, Apple, and Sun advisories for supported fixes or workarounds.; Prioritize removing or upgrading legacy affected Tomcat components..
