DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in Apache Tomcat, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to disclose sensitive information.

password being logged in Tomcat logs if an exception occurs.

The weakness is reported in the following versions:
* Apache Tomcat versions 7.0.0 to 7.0.16
* Apache Tomcat versions 6.0.0 to 6.0.32
* Apache Tomcat versions 5.5.0 to 5.5.33
