The remote host is missing an update for the 'tomcat7, tomcat8' package(s) announced via the USN-3665-1 advisory. It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled being configured with HTTP PUTs enabled, potentially allowing a remote attacker to upload a JSP file to the server and execute arbitrary code. Tomcat also contained incorrect documentation regarding description of the search algorithm used by the CGI Servlet to identify which script to execute, and incorrectly handled en empty string URL pattern in security constraint definitions. The Tomcat CORS filter default settings were insecure and would enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins
