Summary
CVE-2017-5647
A bug in the handling of the pipelined requests when send file was
used resulted in the pipelined request being lost when send file
processing of the previous request completed. This could result in
responses appearing to be sent for the wrong request.
CVE-2017-5648
It was noticed that some calls to application listeners did not use
the appropriate facade object. When running an untrusted application
under a SecurityManager, it was therefore possible for that
untrusted application to retain a reference to the request or
response object and thereby access and/or modify information
associated with another web application.
For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
7.0.28-4+deb7u12.
We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat7 packages.
