- : The error page mechanism of the Java Servlet Specification
requires that, when an error occurs and an error page is configured for the
error that occurred, the original request and response are forwarded to the
error page. This means that the request is presented to the error page with the
original HTTP method. If the error page is a static file, expected behaviour is
to serve content of the file as if processing a GET request, regardless of the
actual HTTP method. The Default Servlet in Tomcat did not do this. Depending on
the original request this could lead to unexpected and undesirable results for
static error pages including, if the DefaultServlet is configured to permit
writes, the replacement or removal of the custom error page (bsc#1042910).
- : The URL pattern of '' was not correctly handled when used as
part of a security constraint definition. This caused the constraint to be
ignored. It was possible for unauthorised users to gain access to web
application resources that should have been protected. Only security
constraints with a URL pattern of the empty string were affected (bsc#1082480).");
