Advisory number: 	CSSA-2001-028.0

1. Problem Description

   There are several security problems with Jakarta-Tomcat, a Java
   Servlet Engine, shipped as part of OpenLinux 3.1 Server. Several
   vulnerabilities allowed attackers to view files in the system.
   A second problem allowed so-called cross-site scripting, where
   a hostile Web server can feed JavaScript or other code to a web
   browser, making it appear to originate from the server running
   tomcat.


2. Vulnerable Versions
