Summary

The libapache-mod-jk connector is susceptible to information disclosure
and privilege escalation because of a mishandling of URL normalization.

The nature of the fix required that libapache-mod-jk in Debian 8
"Jessie" be updated to the latest upstream release. For reference, the
upstream changes associated with each release version are documented
here:
