868202: CVE-2012-4529 JBoss Web: jsessionid exposed via encoded url when using cookie based session tracking

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

The org.apache.catalina.connector.Response.encodeURL method in Red Hat JBoss Web 7.1.x and earlier, when the tracking mode is set to COOKIE, sends the jsessionid in the URL of the first response of a session, which allows remote attackers to obtain the session id (1) via a man-in-the-middle attack or (2) by reading a log.
