Description
Apache Axis contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when a remote attacker requests a non-existant WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) file/resource, causing a fault in the java.io.FileNotFoundException function, which will disclose the software's physical path resulting in a loss of confidentiality. While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
