The JK Connector (aka mod_jk) 1.2.0 through 1.2.26 in Apache Tomcat allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an arbitrary request from an HTTP client, in opportunistic circumstances involving (1) a request from a different client that included a Content-Length header but no POST data or (2) a rapid series of requests, related to noncompliance with the AJP protocol's requirements for requests containing Content-Length headers.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-5519 is an information disclosure issue in Apache Tomcat JK Connector, also known as mod_jk, versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.26. Under specific request timing or malformed request conditions, one client may receive sensitive information associated with another client. Exposure is most likely where Apache HTTP Server uses mod_jk to proxy traffic to Tomcat, especially legacy deployments still running JK Connector 1.2.0 through 1.2.26. Treat this as a moderate legacy infrastructure risk. It can expose sensitive data across client requests, but sources do not confirm active exploitation. Prioritize remediation where mod_jk fronts externally reachable Tomcat applications. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems using Apache mod_jk in front of Tomcat.; Upgrade mod_jk to a vendor-supported release outside 1.2.0 through 1.2.26.; Apply distribution advisories from Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, or other relevant vendors..
