    ===============================================================================
    o Security Bulletin Digest Split
       ------------------------------

       The security bulletins digest has been split into multiple digests
       based on the operating system (HP-UX, MPE/iX, and HP Secure OS
       Software for Linux). You will continue to receive all security
       bulletin digests unless you choose to update your subscriptions.
       
       To update your subscriptions, use your browser to access the
       IT Resource Center on the World Wide Web at:

         http://support.itrc.hp.com/

       Under the Maintenance and Support Menu, click on the "more..." link.
       Then use the 'login' link at the left side of the screen to login
       using your IT Resource Center User ID and Password.

       Under the notifications section (near the bottom of the page), select
       Support Information Digests.

       To subscribe or unsubscribe to a specific security bulletin digest,
       select or unselect the checkbox beside it. Then click the
       "Update Subscriptions" button at the bottom of the page.

     SSRT2430 Security Vulnerability in Tomcat 4.0.X
     -----------------------------------------------------------------

    NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this Bulletin
    provided that it remains complete and intact.

    The information in the following Security Bulletin should be
    acted upon as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will
    not be liable for any consequences to any customer resulting
    from customer's failure to fully implement instructions in this
    Security Bulletin as soon as possible.

     ------------------------------------------------------------------
    PROBLEM: Security vulnerability in Tomcat 4.0.X versions prior
             to version 4.0.6.

    IMPACT: Potential unauthorized source code listing.

    PLATFORM: HP9000 Servers running VVOS release 11.04 with only
               the Virtualvault A.04.60 product installed.

    SOLUTION: Upgrade to Tomcat 4.0.6 or later Tomcat 4.0.X version,
               or disable the affected resource manually (see below).

    MANUAL ACTIONS: Yes - NonUpgrade
                     On VVOS 11.04 only, if one of the Tomcat
                     4.0.X versions prior to 4.0.6 is integrated
                     with Apache web server, comment the lines
                     in configuration files as specified below.

    AVAILABILITY: n/a

     ------------------------------------------------------------------

     A. Background
        This is only applicable for customers who have downloaded
        and integrated Tomcat 4.0.X with their Virtualvault platform.

        Virtualvault A.04.60 has been released with the support for
        the integration of Tomcat 4.0.X versions with the Apache web
        server. The default servlet
        (org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet) in Tomcat
        versions prior to 4.0.6 exposes the source code of server
        files via a direct request to the servlet.

     B. Recommended solution

        Hewlett-Packard recommends the customers who have installed
        Virtualvault A.04.60 and integrated Tomcat 4.0.X versions prior
        to 4.0.6 with Apache web server, to follow either of the
        instructions given below.

        1. Upgrade Tomcat to version 4.0.6 or later Tomcat 4.0.X
           version. (This is the preferred solution). Tomcat 4.0.6
           can be found at:
     http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.6/bin/

        2. Customers who cannot upgrade Tomcat as recommended above
           should implement either of the following manual workaround
           solutions to prohibit users from exploiting this
           vulnerability:

         2.1. Configure Tomcat to deny access to the
              "/servlet/org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet/*"
              resource.

           or

         2.2 Comment the following lines in the applications'
             configuration files by prefixing a '#':
               #
               # invoker
               # /servlet/*
               #
