Scroller Suse
Crucial security patch for tomcat6 on SUSE. Addresses multiple serious vulnerabilities, enhancing protection for server functionalities.
An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available

Summary

This update fixes a regression in parameter passing (in urldecoding of parameters that contain spaces). In addition, multiple weaknesses in HTTP DIGESTS have been fixed (CVE-2011-1184): * CVE-2011-5062: The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33 and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check qop values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended integrity-protection requirements via a qop=auth value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184. * CVE-2011-5063: The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check realm values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the availability
