This update of Apache Tomcat 5 fixes the following security issues :A directory traversal vulnerability allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files and directories with a specially crafted WAR file (CVE-2009-2693 / CVE-2009-2902). When autoDeploy is enabled, the automatic deployment process deploys appBase files that remain from a failed undeploy, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended authentication requirements via HTTP requests.
