- <p>Tomcat provides support for sendfile with the HTTP NIO and HTTP APR
- connectors. sendfile is used automatically for content served via the
- DefaultServlet and deployed web applications may use it directly via
- setting request attributes. These request attributes were not validated.
- When running under a security manager, this lack of validation allowed a
- malicious web application to do one or more of the following that would
- normally be prevented by a security manager:
- <ul>
- <li>return files to users that the security manager should make
- inaccessible</li>
- <li>terminate (via a crash) the JVM</li>
- </ul>
- Additionally, these vulnerabilities only occur when all of the following
- are true:
- <ul>
- <li>untrusted web applications are being used</li>
- <li>the SecurityManager is used to limit the untrusted web
applications
- </li>
- <li>the HTTP NIO or HTTP APR connector is used</li>
- <li>sendfile is enabled for the connector (this is the default)</li>
