    Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet
    and JavaServer Pages technologies. The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specifications are developed by
    Sun under the Java Community Process.
    Tomcat is developed in an open and participatory environment and released under the Apache Software
    License. Tomcat is intended to be a collaboration of the best-of-breed developers from around the world.
    We invite you to participate in this open development project.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2007-5333
    Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.36 does not properly
    handle (1) double quote () characters or (2) %5C (encoded backslash) sequences in a cookie value, which
    might cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked to remote attackers and enable session
    hijacking attacks. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3385.
    CVE-2008-5515
    Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, and possibly earlier
    versions normalizes the target pathname before filtering the query string when using the RequestDispatcher
    method, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and conduct directory
    traversal attacks via .. (dot dot) sequences and the WEB-INF directory in a Request.
    CVE-2009-0033
    Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, when the Java AJP
    connector and mod_jk load balancing are used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application outage) via a crafted request with invalid headers, related to temporary blocking of
    connectors that have encountered errors, as demonstrated by an error involving a malformed HTTP Host
    header.
    CVE-2009-0580
    Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18, when FORM
    authentication is used, allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames via requests to
    /j_security_check with malformed URL encoding of passwords, related to improper error checking in the (1)
    MemoryRealm, (2) DataSourceRealm, and (3) JDBCRealm authentication realms, as demonstrated by a %
    (percent) value for the j_password parameter.
    CVE-2009-0781
    Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in jsp/cal/cal2.jsp in the calendar application in the examples
    web application in Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18
    allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the time parameter, related to invalid
    HTML.
    CVE-2009-0783
    Apache Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.39, 5.5.0 through 5.5.27, and 6.0.0 through 6.0.18 permits web
    applications to replace an XML parser used for other web applications, which allows local users to read or
    modify the (1) web.xml, (2) context.xml, or (3) tld files of arbitrary web applications via a crafted
    application that is loaded earlier than the target application.
