Paul Szabo discovered a potential privilege escalation that could be
exploited in the situation envisaged in DLA-622-1. This update also
addresses two regressions which were introduced by the fixes for
CVE-2016-5018 (when running Jasper with SecurityManager enabled) and
CVE-2016-6797.
For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb7u4.
We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat6 packages.
