Overview:

Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14 5.5.0 through 5.5.25 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36 does not properly handle (1) double quote (quot) characters or (2) 5C (encoded backslash) sequences in a cookie value which might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked to remote attackers and enable session hijacking attacks.
