Affected packages

• Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 5.5.0, < 5.5.29 → fixed in 5.5.29 • Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 6.0.0, < 6.0.24 → fixed in 6.0.24

Description

The autodeployment process in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20, when autoDeploy is enabled, deploys appBase files that remain from a failed undeploy, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended authentication requirements via HTTP requests.
