Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-11-09 05:38:14 EST

A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way Servlets, implementing the functionality of the Manager application, shipped with Apache Tomcat, restricted privileges of a Context (web application) to access the Application Manager functionality. A specially-crafted web application could use this flaw to use the functionality of the Application Manager (obtain information about existing web applications or deploy new web applications).
