Problem type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-3382 CVE-2007-3385 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-2007-5461     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 5.0.30-12etch1.

The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn't contain tomcat5.

The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains tomcat5.
