A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Tomcat to hang via a specially crafted HTTP request.
(CVE-2010-4476)

A flaw was found in the Tomcat NIO (Non-Blocking I/O) connector. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (out-of-memory condition) via a specially crafted request containing a large NIO buffer size request value. (CVE-2011-0534)

This update also fixes the following bug :

  • A bug in the โ€˜tomcat6โ€™ init script prevented additional Tomcat instances from starting. As well, running โ€˜service tomcat6 startโ€™ caused configuration options applied from โ€˜/etc/sysconfig/tomcat6โ€™ to be overwritten with those from โ€˜/etc/tomcat6/tomcat6.confโ€™. With this update, multiple instances of Tomcat run as expected.
    (BZ#676922)

Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect.
