Description
A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat if the default web application is configured with FormAuthenticator. This issue allows a specially crafted URL to trigger a redirect to an arbitrary URL.
Statement
The pki-servlet-engine package has been obsoleted by the Tomcat package. Therefore, this issue will be fixed in the Tomcat package rather than the pki-serlvet-engine package. Please follow the RHEL Tomcat trackers instead for the updates.
Red Hat Satellite is not directly impacted by this issue, since it does not embed the dependency on their offer deliveries. However, end users of Red Hat Satellite are using Tomcat via RHEL channels, which provides Tomcat dependency needed by candlepin to function in Satellite.
