When recycling the Request object to use for a new request, the
requestedSessionSSL field was not recycled. This meant that a session ID
provided in the next request to be processed using the recycled Request object
could be used when it should not have been. This gave the client the ability to
control the session ID. In theory, this could have been used as part of a
session fixation attack but it would have been hard to achieve as the attacker
would not have been able to force the victim to use the 'correct' Request
object. It was also necessary for at least one web application to be configured
to use the SSL session ID as the HTTP session ID. This is not a common
configuration.
