Debian Bug     : 802312 845385 845393

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Tomcat

fixes for previous vulnerabilities were also fixed.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 7.0.56-3+deb8u6.

For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, these
problems have been fixed in version 7.0.72-3.
