Hi,

I'm doing some follow-up work for the debian secure-testing project,
and I'm wondering if someone here might know about the following 
cross-site scripting vulnerability which was claimed to be in Tomcat 4.1.

http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/vuln-dev/2002-q3/0482.html

I can't see any references to it in the changelog, and frankly, I don't
know enough about Tomcat to be able to work out for myself if the Debian
package is vulnerable or not.

Can anyone tell me if this was ever addressed in the tomcat4 package,
or if it turned out to be a non-issue?

Thanks,

Paul
