http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21984 Apache Tomcat hangs for long time and server error 500 if ..%5c.. is included in request URL Summary: Apache Tomcat hangs for long time and server error 500 if ..%5c.. is included in request URL Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.24 Platform: PC URL: http://www.jsp-servlet.net/..%5c../index.jsp or http://www.jspwiki.org/..%5c../Wiki.jsp?page=About OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem occurs if Tomcat is connected through Apache Web server. My server environemnt is Apache 2.0.46, both mod_jk and mod_jk2, and Tomcat 4.1.24. Also found error log in Apache error log, i.e. "mod_jk: Error flushing" However, using the same environment with Tomcat 4.0.6 does not found any problem. Also no problem if 4.1.24 is used in Standalone mode. The problem is critical if a web server forwards all requests to Tomcat to handle. The ..%5c.. requests are generated by CodeRed or others to infect IIS. However, since tomcat cannot handle ..%5c.. requests properly, Tomcat will die after many such requests are received. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
