Low: tomcat security update for Red Hat Network Satellite Server

Updated tomcat packages that fix multiple security issues are now available
for Red Hat Network Satellite Server.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

This update corrects several security vulnerabilities in the Tomcat
component shipped as part of Red Hat Network Satellite Server. In a
typical operating environment, Tomcat is not exposed to users
of Satellite Server in a vulnerable manner. These security updates will
reduce risk in unique Satellite Server environments.

CVE-2008-1947, CVE-2008-2370, CVE-2008-2938, CVE-2008-3271)

to these Tomcat packages which resolve these issues.
