Description Mark J. Cox 2007-04-19 12:02:08 UTC 
According to http://tomcat.apache.org/security-5.html

Fixed in Apache Tomcat 5.5.18

Cross-site scripting CVE-2006-7195

The implict-objects.jsp in the examples webapp displayed a number of unfiltered
header values. This enabled a XSS attack. These values are now filtered.

Affects: 5.0.0-5.0.HEAD, 5.5.0-5.5.17
Comment 2 Mark J. Cox 2007-04-19 12:04:59 UTC 
The severity of this flaw depends on if the examples are 1) distributed and 2)
accessible for a given Tomcat package.
Comment 3 Mark J. Cox 2007-04-23 10:43:36 UTC 
Advisory text: "The implict-objects.jsp file distributed in the examples webapp
displayed a number of unfiltered header values.  If the jsp examples are
accessible, this flaw could allow a remote attacker to perform cross-site
scripting attacks.  (CVE-2006-7195)"
