According to its self-reported version number, the Apache Tomcat instance listening on the remote host is 7.0.x prior to 7.0.65, or 8.0.x prior to 8.0.27. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability:
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

- A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Tomcat when
accessing resources via ServletContext methods using paths
beginning with '/..'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can
exploit this, by sending a specially crafted request, to
obtain a directory listing for the directory in which the
application was deployed.
