URL: https://github.com/apache/tomcat-connectors/pull/13
## Summary
Fix critical severity security issue in `native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c`.
## Vulnerability
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **ID** | V-002 |
| **Severity** | CRITICAL |
| **Scanner** | multi_agent_ai |
| **Rule** | `V-002` |
| **File** | `native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c:1598` |
| **Assessment** | Confirmed exploitable |
**Description**: The URL rewrite substitution logic allocates a destination
buffer at line 1598 using calloc(1, len + 1) where 'len' is pre-calculated.
Multiple memcpy operations at lines 1619, 1669, 1671, and 1673 copy regex match
groups and substitution strings into this buffer. If the pre-calculated 'len'
underestimates the actual total size needed due to backreference expansion or
multiple substitution passes, the memcpy operations write beyond the allocated
heap buffer, causing heap corruption.
## Evidence
**Exploitation scenario**: An attacker crafts a URL that matches a
configured rewrite rule with multiple backreferences.
**Scanner confirmation**: multi_agent_ai rule `V-002` flagged this pattern.
**Production code**: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only
code.
## Changes
- `native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c`
> **Note**: The following lines in the same file use a similar pattern and
may also need review: `native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c:1149`,
`native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c:1163`, `native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c:1619`,
`native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c:1669`, `native/iis/jk_isapi_plugin.c:1671` (and 3
more)
## Verification
- [x] Build passes
- [x] Scanner re-scan confirms fix
- [x] LLM code review passed
## Security Invariant
> **Property**: The security boundary is maintained under adversarial input
