CVE-2014-0033 Session fixation still possible with disableURLRewriting
enabled

Severity: Low

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
- - Apache Tomcat 6.0.33 to 6.0.37

Description:
Previous fixes to path parameter handling [1] introduced a regression
that meant session IDs provided in the URL were considered even when
disableURLRewriting was configured to true. Note that the session is
only used for that single request.

Mitigation:
Users of affected versions should apply one of the following mitigations
- - Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 6.0.39 or later
   (6.0.38 contains the fix but was not released)

Credit:
This issue was identified by the Apache Tomcat security team.
