OVERVIEW:

      Security vulnerabilities exist in Tomcat used in Webtop. [1][2]
      The following versions are affected:

      IBM Tivoli Netcool/Webtop 1.x
      IBM Tivoli Netcool/Webtop 2.x


IMPACT:

      The National Vulnerability Database provides the following 
      information:

      Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.14, 5.5.0 through 5.5.25, and 4.1.0 
      through 4.1.36 does not properly handle (1) double quote (") characters 
      or (2) %5C (encoded backslash) sequences in a cookie value, which might 
      cause sensitive information such as session IDs to be leaked to remote 
      attackers and enable session hijacking attacks. NOTE: this issue exists 
      because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-3385. [3]


MITIGATION:

      Update to version 1.3.1 FP3 or 2.1 FP5.
