DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache Tomcat, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application not properly
enforcing "@ServletSecurity" annotations when loading servlets. This
can be exploited to e.g. bypass the security constraints specified
via the annotations and disclose certain information.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 7.0.0 through 7.0.10.

SOLUTION:
Incompletely fixed in version 7.0.10. As a workaround, update to
version 7.0.10 and specify at least one security constraint in
web.xml.
