What is CVE-2015-5171?

The password change functionality in Cloud Foundry Runtime, UAA, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry Elastic Runtime has a significant session management flaw. This vulnerability stems from the system's inability to properly expire existing user sessions upon password changes, potentially allowing unauthorized access if an active session is still valid after the password has been altered.
