Software Description: - tomcat7: Servlet and JSP engine - tomcat6: Servlet and JSP engine Details: It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain requests submitted using chunked transfer encoding.

(CVE-2012-3544) It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain authentication requests.

(CVE-2013-2067) It was discovered that Tomcat sometimes exposed elements of a previous request to the current request. This could allow a remote attacker to possibly obtain sensitive information.
