Re: Block Tomcat's directory listing vulnerability with Directory and regex

["Leo Gil" <leonardobgil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Title: System Incident Report

After hunting this problem down I found an easy fix on tomcat. So easy that upsets me...

Just setting listings to false did the trick on web.xml

<init-param>

<param-name>listings</param-name>

<param-value>false</param-value>

</init-param>

I'm going to try LocationMatch it's better than displaying a tomcat 404

Thanks for your help

No chance.  <Directory> applies to local files, not anything
served by tomcat.  You want <LocationMatch>.
