[Nico Golde]

Package: tomcat5.5
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for tomcat5.5.

CVE-2007-6286[0]:
| Apache Tomcat 5.5.11 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15, when the
| native APR connector is used, does not properly handle an empty
| request to the SSL port, which allows remote attackers to trigger
| handling of "a duplicate copy of one of the recent requests," as
| demonstrated by using netcat to send the empty request.

If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.
