[Bug 62965] New: Some request will get the response intended for others similar to CVE-2018-8037

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62965

            Bug ID: 62965
           Summary: Some request will get the response intended for others
                    similar to CVE-2018-8037
           Product: Tomcat Connectors
           Version: 1.2.43
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_jk
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: yongg@oclc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Tomcat Version: 8.5.34
Apache Version: 2.4.29
mod_jk Version: 1.2.43
java Version: jdk1.8.0_20
Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Kernel Release: 3.10.0-862.6.3.el7.x86_64 

AJP Connector configuration:
<Connector port="8009"
                minProcessors="50"
                maxProcessors="600"
                acceptCount="100" debug="0"
                URIEncoding="UTF-8"
                enableLookups="false"
                protocol="org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpNioProtocol"

Issues: Sometimes user can get the response intended for others similar to what
is described in CVE-2018-8037. Once the response swapping starts happening, it
could be easily reproduced and the situation would deteriorate fast . The
server needs to be bounced to resolve the issue. The tomcat access log shows
the response size is correct (based on some fixed size response of certain
request), but the apache access log shows a large range of different sizes for
that same kind request.

--- Comment #1 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> ---
(a) What is your evidence that tomcat responses are being confused?

(b) Why would you report a vulnerability "this bad" on a public bug-tracker?

If you have legitimate proof of a vulnerability, please submit it to
security@tomcat.apache.org.

Before submitting anything else, anywhere, please enable facade-recycling by
setting this system property and re-testing.

  org.apache.catalina.connector.RECYCLE_FACADES=true

If your response-confusion turns into IllegalStateExceptions, then the problem
is with your application's code retaining references to request and response
objects past their intended lifetimes, and the bug is within your application.
