  <background>
    <p>
    The Apache Tomcat JK Connector (aka mod_jk) connects the Tomcat
    application server with the Apache HTTP Server.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that mod_jk does not
    properly handle (1) requests setting the "Content-Length" header while
    not providing data and (2) clients sending repeated requests very
    quickly.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="low">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests or a large
    number of requests at a time, possibly resulting in the disclosure of a
    response intended for another client.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Apache Tomcat JK Connector users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apache/mod_jk-1.2.27"</code>
  </resolution>
