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.

Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates.
