A session fixation flaw was found in the Tomcat FormAuthenticator module.
During a narrow window of time, if a remote attacker sent requests while a
user was logging in, it could possibly result in the attacker's requests
being processed as if they were sent by the user. (CVE-2013-2067)

Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take effect.
