CVE-2011-2526 is an improper input-validation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.19. When sendfile is enabled on an HTTP APR or HTTP NIO connector, Tomcat does not validate certain sendfile-related request attributes supplied by a web application. A locally deployed, untrusted web application can abuse these attributes to bypass intended file-access restrictions or trigger an infinite loop or Java Virtual Machine crash.
