Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2009-2693
Directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20 allows
remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in an entry in a WAR file, as
demonstrated by a ../../bin/catalina.bat entry.
CVE-2009-2696
No information available at the time of writing, see the links below.
CVE-2009-2902
Directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20 allows
remote attackers to delete work-directory files via directory traversal sequences in a WAR filename, as
demonstrated by the ...war filename.
CVE-2010-2227
Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.29, 6.0.0 through 6.0.27, and 7.0.0 beta does not properly handle an
invalid Transfer-Encoding header, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
outage) or obtain sensitive information via a crafted header that interferes with recycling of a buffer.
1564,Archive::Tar provides an object oriented mechanism for handling tar files. It provides class methods
for quick and easy files handling while also allowing for the creation of tar file objects for custom
manipulation. If you have the IO::Zlib module installed
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
