Official Description

Novell Access Manager 3 SP4 does not properly expire X.509 certificate sessions, which allows physically proximate attackers to obtain a logged-in session by using a victim's web-browser process that continues to send the original and valid SSL sessionID, related to inability of Apache Tomcat to clear entries from its SSL cache.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2008-6722 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
