  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"This update fixes a regression in parameter passing (in

  In addition, multiple weaknesses in HTTP DIGESTS are fixed
  (CVE-2011-1184).


  CVE-2011-5062: The HTTP Digest Access Authentication
  implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x
  before 6.0.33 and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check qop
  values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass
  intended integrity-protection requirements via a qop=auth
  value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.

  CVE-2011-5063: The HTTP Digest Access Authentication
  implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x
  before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check realm
  values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass
  intended access restrictions by leveraging the availability
  of a protection space with weaker authentication or
  authorization requirements, a different vulnerability than
  CVE-2011-1184.

  CVE-2011-5064: DigestAuthenticator.java in the HTTP Digest
  Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x
  before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12
  uses Catalina as the hard-coded server secret (aka private
  key), which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass
  cryptographic protection mechanisms by leveraging knowledge
  of this string, a different vulnerability than
  CVE-2011-1184.

  Special Instructions and Notes:

  Please reboot the system after installing this update.");
