Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Apache Tomcat, which could be exploited by attackers to bypass security restrictions or gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The first issue is caused by an input validation error when processing arguments passed to the "HttpServletResponse.sendError()" call and displayed via the "reason-phrase" field of HTTP response, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.
The second vulnerability is caused due to the target path being normalised before the query string was removed while using a RequestDispatcher, which could be exploited by attackers to access protected content.
