3. Description:

 

Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer

Pages (JSP) technologies.

 

A flaw was found in the way Tomcat handled the Transfer-Encoding header in

HTTP requests. A specially-crafted HTTP request could prevent Tomcat from

sending replies, or cause Tomcat to return truncated replies, or replies

containing data related to the requests of other users, for all subsequent

HTTP requests. (CVE-2010-2227)

 

Two directory traversal flaws were found in the Tomcat deployment process.

A specially-crafted WAR file could, when deployed, cause a file to be

created outside of the web root into any directory writable by the Tomcat

user, or could lead to the deletion of files in the Tomcat host's work

directory. (CVE-2009-2693, CVE-2009-2902)

 

Users of Tomcat should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

backported patches to resolve these issues. Tomcat must be restarted for

this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
