Description:
A security issue has been reported in Apache Tomcat, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The security issue is caused due to the improper handling of exceptions taking place when the request parameters are being processed. This can lead to the processing of the same parameters in a subsequent request if an exception takes place (e.g. the connection is closed).
The security issue is reported in versions 6.0.5 through 6.0.15.
Solution:
Update to version 6.0.16.
