Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - 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 have the expected countermeasures against replay attacks, which

 valid requests, related to lack of checking of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka nonce-count or client
 nonce count) values. (CVE-2011-1184)
