What is CVE-2005-1754?

The JavaMail API versions 1.1.3 through 1.3, utilized by Apache Tomcat 5.0.16, can be exploited by remote attackers to read arbitrary files. This is achievable by providing a full pathname in the Download parameter argument. The issue arises from the way JavaMail processes requests, potentially exposing sensitive file information. Discrepancies between Sun and Apache concerning the validity of the vulnerabilities reported have been noted.
