Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: tomcat5 and tomcat6 security update

Notes

Topic
A patch for JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.1 that fixes two security issues is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.
Details
Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies. A denial of service flaw was found in the way certain strings were converted to Double objects. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause Tomcat 5 or 6 to hang via a specially-crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-4476) A flaw was found in the Tomcat 6 NIO (Non-Blocking I/O) connector. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service (out-of-memory condition) via a specially-crafted request containing a large NIO buffer size request value. (CVE-2011-0534) All users of JBoss Enterprise Web Server 1.0.1 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to apply this patch.
