CVEID:
CVE-2016-6816
DESCRIPTION:
Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by
improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to
return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the
attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site
scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.

CVEID:
CVE-2016-8735
DESCRIPTION:
Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
system, caused by an error in the JmxRemoteLifecycleListener. By sending

DESCRIPTION:
Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to redirect HTTP traffic of CGI
application, caused by the failure to protect applications from the presence
of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. By using a
specially-crafted Proxy header in a HTTP request, an attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to redirect outbound HTTP traffic to arbitrary proxy
server. This is also known as the "HTTPOXY" vulnerability.
