Issue Overview:
It was discovered that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted
invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that
also permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to
inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the
attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain sensitive
information from requests other then their own. (CVE-2016-6816)
Note: This fix causes Tomcat to respond with an HTTP 400 Bad Request error when
request contains characters that are not permitted by the HTTP specification to
appear not encoded, even though they were previously accepted. The newly
introduced system property tomcat.util.http.parser.HttpParser.requestTargetAllow
can be used to configure Tomcat to accept curly braces ({ and }) and the pipe
symbol (|) in not encoded form, as these are often used in URLs without being
properly encoded.
