Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.29 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.26 might allow remote attackers to discover the server's hostname or IP address by sending a request for a resource that requires (1) BASIC or (2) DIGEST authentication, and then reading the realm field in the WWW-Authenticate header in the reply.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Tomcat issue can leak the server hostname or IP address in an authentication challenge. It does not describe code execution or data theft by itself, but it can reveal internal infrastructure details useful for reconnaissance. Exposure is most likely on legacy Apache Tomcat 5.5 or 6.0 servers with BASIC or DIGEST protected resources reachable by untrusted users. Treat as a low-priority but real hygiene issue unless it affects internet-facing legacy systems. Address during legacy Tomcat remediation or routine patching. Mitigation focus: Inventory Tomcat 5.5.x and 6.0.x instances.; Prioritize internet-facing servers using BASIC or DIGEST authentication.; Follow Apache or OS-vendor advisory guidance for fixed packages..
