Summary
When HTTP PUT was enabled (e.g., via setting the readonly initialization
parameter of the Default servlet to false) it was possible to upload a JSP
file to the server via a specially crafted request. This JSP could then be
requested and any code it contained would be executed by the server.
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
7.0.28-4+deb7u16.
We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat7 packages.
