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

The security issue is caused due to an error in enforcing the
"@ServletSecurity" annotations when loading servlets. This can be
exploited to e.g. bypass the security constraints specified via the
annotations and disclose certain information when the servlet is
loaded for the first time.

The security issue is reported in versions 7.0.12 through 7.0.13.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 7.0.14.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
