Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: tomcat security update for Red Hat Application Server
Notes
Topic
An updated Tomcat package that fixes multiple security issues is now
available for Red Hat Application Server.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
Tomcat is a servlet container for Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages
technologies.
Multiple cross-site scripting flaws were found in the example applications
shipped with Tomcat. If these scripts were made publicly available, a
remote attacker could construct a carefully crafted URL to inject arbitrary
web content into the vulnerable application. (CVE-2006-0254)
All users of Tomcat are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported fixes for these issues.

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.",
