"According to its self-reported version number, the remote host is
running a vulnerable version of Apache Tomcat. Due to a bug in a
RequestDispatcher API, target paths are normalized before the query
string is removed, which could result in directory traversal attacks.
This allows a remote attacker to view files outside of the web
application's root.");
