Debian: DSA-3670-1: tomcat8 security update
Summary
Dawid Golunski of LegalHackers discovered that the Tomcat init script
performed unsafe file handling, which could result in local privilege
escalation.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 8.0.14-1+deb8u3.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat8 packages.
