  It was found that web applications could modify the location of the Tomcat
  host's work directory. As web applications deployed on Tomcat have read and
  write access to this directory, a malicious web application could use this
  flaw to trick Tomcat into giving it read and write access to an arbitrary
  directory on the file system. (CVE-2010-3718)

  A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the Manager application,
  used for managing web applications on Apache Tomcat. A malicious web
  application could use this flaw to conduct an XSS attack, leading to
  arbitrary web script execution with the privileges of victims who are
  logged into and viewing Manager application web pages. (CVE-2011-0013)

  Multiple flaws were found in the way Tomcat handled HTTP DIGEST
  authentication. These flaws weakened the Tomcat HTTP DIGEST authentication
  implementation, subjecting it to some of the weaknesses of HTTP BASIC
  authentication, for example, allowing remote attackers to perform session
  replay attacks. (CVE-2011-1184)

  A flaw was found in the Tomcat MemoryUserDatabase. If a runtime exception
  occurred when creating a new user with a JMX client, that user's password
  was logged to Tomcat log files. Note: By default, only administrators have
  access to such log files. (CVE-2011-2204)

  Users of Tomcat should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  backported patches to correct these issues. Tomcat must be restarted for
  this update to take effect.");
