Red Hat: 2013:0964-01: tomcat6: Moderate Advisory
Summary
Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer
Pages (JSP) technologies.
A session fixation flaw was found in the Tomcat FormAuthenticator module.
During a narrow window of time, if a remote attacker sent requests while a
user was logging in, it could possibly result in the attacker's requests
being processed as if they were sent by the user. (CVE-2013-2067)
Users of Tomcat are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
correct this issue. Tomcat must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
