Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: tomcat security update for Stronghold

Notes

Topic
Updated tomcat packages are now available for Stronghold 4.0 to close a second 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 4.0.5 and 4.1.0 through 4.1.12, in a variant of the issue addressed in RHSA-2002:218. Using a carefully crafted request, a remote attacker can read the source code of any deployed JSP file. The previous erratum for Stronghold on Advanced Server, RHSA-2002:218, contained Tomcat 4.0.5 and is therefore susceptible to this vulnerability. All users are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages containing Tomcat version 4.0.6 which is not vulnerable to this issue.

Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated.  Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated.  Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network.  Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.  To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
