Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: tomcat security update for Stronghold

Notes

Topic
Updated tomcat packages are now available for Stronghold Cross Platform to close a JSP source code exposure vulnerability.
Details
Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. A source code exposure vulnerability has been found that affects Tomcat versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.4 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.10. Using a carefully crafted request, a remote attacker can read the source code of any deployed JSP file. Stronghold Cross Platform shipped with Tomcat version 4.0.3 and is therefore susceptible to this vulnerability. All users are advised to upgrade to these errata packages containing Tomcat version 4.0.5 which is not vulnerable to this issue.
