Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The host name verification in Tomcat when using TLS with the WebSocket client was missing. It is now enabled by default.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 7.0.56-3+really7.0.90-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat7 packages.
