Details

Private Data Structure Returned From A Public Method vulnerability in Apache Answer.

This issue affects Apache Answer: through 1.4.2.

If a user uses an externally referenced image, when a user accesses this image, the provider of the image may obtain private information about the ip address of that accessing user.
