Vulnerability  : several
Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-3382 CVE-2007-3385 CVE-2007-3386 CVE-2007-5342 CVE-2007-5461

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat servlet and JSP engine. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-3382     It was discovered that single quotes (') in cookies were treated     as a delimiter, which could lead to an information leak.

CVE-2007-3385     It was discovered that the character sequence \" in cookies was     handled incorrectly, which could lead to an information leak.

CVE-2007-3386       It was discovered that the host manager servlet performed     insufficient input validation, which could lead to cross-site     scripting.

CVE-2007-5342     It was discovered that the JULI logging component did not restrict     its target path, resulting in potential denial of service through     file overwrites.

CVE-2007-5461     It was discovered that the WebDAV servlet is vulnerable to absolute     path traversal.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.5.20-2etch1.
