Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

Updated tomcat packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Network Satellite Server.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the Tomcat component shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server. In a typical operating environment, Tomcat is not exposed to users of Satellite Server in a vulnerable manner. These security updates will reduce risk in unique Satellite Server environments.

Multiple flaws were fixed in the Apache Tomcat package.
(CVE-2008-1232, CVE-2008-1947, CVE-2008-2370, CVE-2008-2938, CVE-2008-3271)

Users of Red Hat Network Satellite Server 5.0 or 5.1 are advised to update to these Tomcat packages which resolve these issues.

Solution

Update the affected tomcat5 package.
