According to its self-reported version number, the remote host is running a vulnerable version of Apache Tomcat. Affected versions permit a web application to replace the XML parser used to process the XML and TLD files of other applications. This could allow a malicious web app to read or modify βweb.xmlβ, βcontext.xmlβ, or TLD files of arbitrary web applications.
