Calendar Grey May 21, 2007
Dist Redhat Esm H88
A crucial update from Red Hat for Tomcat addresses several vulnerabilities affecting application stability. Keep your systems protected!
Updated tomcat packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Application Server v2.Tomcat was found to accept multiple content-length headers in a reque...

Solution

Note: /etc/tomcat5/web.xml has been updated to disable directory listing by default. If you have previously modified /etc/tomcat5/web.xml, this change will not be made automatically and you should manually update the value for the "listings" parameter to "false".

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.
