If things are configured properly, web users won't be able to see anything outside your app hierarchy, so something clearly isn't set up properly.

Howdy,

I have a issue with Tomcat security, please find the spec below:

Server version: Apache Tomcat/6.0.35
Server built:   Nov 28 2011 11:20:06
Server number:  6.0.35.0
OS Name:        SunOS
OS Version:     5.10
Architecture:   x86
JVM Version:    1.6.0_33-b03
JVM Vendor:     Sun Microsystems Inc.


For the problematic server, all files on the server are exposed to all users through 
http://<masterservice_IP>:8080/consistencycheck/servlet/TransformXML?xmlUrl=../../../../../<location_of_the_file>

i.e. open Chrome, give 
http://10.45.224.55:8080/consistencycheck/servlet/TransformXML?xmlUrl=../../../../../var/adm/messages
 and press enter to see the server system log..

It happens with any browsers..

I was wondering if it is a security vulnerability of Tomcat 6.0.35, or it is a 
service config issue.. Can someone please have a look?..

Please let me know if any further info required..


Thanks&  Regards,

Wen
