[Bug 1282923] Re: Sync tomcat6 6.0.39-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Sun Feb 23 14:40:52 UTC 2014

I'm sorry I have missed the Freeze for a couple of days (the package has
been pushed in debian in time however).

The rationale is:
-For an LTS something "fresh" should be better indeed.

In the new 2 releases mostly (if not all of them) commits are BUG fix only.
I don't see any new feature in the changelog, while I see one (possibly more) CVE fixed.
For me is better to push, there is many NPE,CVE and other kind of fixes.

Tomcat 6.0.39 (markt)
    Catalina
        fix	55166: Fix regression that broke XML validation when running on some Java 5 JVMs. (kkolinko)
    Coyote
        fix	Make the HTTP NIO connector tolerant of whitespace in the individual values used for the ciphers attribute. (markt)
        fix	Remove dependency introduced on the jsp-api.jar as part of the XML validation changes introduced in 6.0.38. (markt)
    Jasper
        fix	Correct several errors in jspxml Schema and DTD. (kkolinko)
    Cluster
        code	Remove an empty TestTwoPhaseCommit test from Tribes. (kkolinko)
    Web applications
        fix	Fix broken link in Jasper How-To documentation. (markt)
        fix	Align index.html and index.jsp in ROOT web application. Correct links to specifications and to the Tomcat mailing lists. (kkolinko)
        fix	Remove second copy of RUNNING.txt from the full-docs distribution. Some unpacking utilities can't handle multiple copies of a file with the same name in a directory. (kkolinko)
    Other
        update	Update sample Eclipse IDE project: use JUnit 4 library and prefer a Java 5 JDK when several JDKs are configured. Cleanup the Ant build files. (kkolinko)
        fix	Correct Maven dependencies for individual JAR files. (markt)
Tomcat 6.0.38 (markt)	not released
    Catalina
        fix	Ensure that when Tomcat's anti-resource locking features are used that the temporary copy of the web application and not the original is removed when the web application stops. (markt/kkolinko)
        fix	55019: Fix a potential exception when accessing JSPs while running under a SecurityManager. (jfclere)
        fix	55052: Make JULI's LogManager to additionally look for logging properties without prefixes if the property cannot be found with a prefix. (kkolinko)
        fix	55266: Ensure that the session ID is parsed from the request before any redirect as the session ID may need to be encoded as part of the redirect URL. (markt)
        fix	55404: Log warnings about using security roles in web.xml as warnings. (markt)
        fix	55268: Added optional --service-start-wait-time command-line option to change service start wait time from default of 10 seconds. (schultz)
        fix	Correctly associate the default resource bundle with the English locale so that requests that specify an Accept-Language of English ahead of French, Spanish or Japanese get the English messages they asked for. (markt)
        fix	Add missing JavaEE 5 XML schema definitions. (markt)
        fix	When Catalina parses TLD files, always use a namespace aware parser to be consistent with how Jasper parses TLD files. The tldNamespaceAware attribute of the Context is now ignored. (markt)
        fix	As per section SRV.14.4.3 of the Servlet 2.5 specification, a namespace aware, validating parser will be used when processing *.tld and web.xml files if the system property org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE is set to true. (markt)
        fix	Ensure that sessions IDs are not parsed from URLs for Contexts where disableURLRewriting is true. (markt)
        add	Add an option to the Context to control the blocking of XML external entities when parsing XML configuration files and enable this blocking by default when a security manager is used. The block is implemented via a custom resolver to enable the logging of any blocked entities. (markt)
        fix	56016: When loading resources for XML schema validation, take account of the possibility that servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar may not be loaded by the same class loader. Patch by Juan Carlos Estibariz. (markt)
    Coyote
        fix	52811: Fix parsing of Content-Type header in HttpServletResponse.setContentType(). Introduces a new HTTP header parser that follows RFC2616. (markt)
        fix	54691: Add configuration attribute "sslEnabledProtocols" to HTTP connector and document it. (Internally this attribute has been already implemented but not documented, under names "protocols" and "sslProtocols". Those names of this attribute are now deprecated). (schultz)
        fix	54947: Fix the HTTP NIO connector that incorrectly rejected a request if the CRLF terminating the request line was split across multiple packets. Patch by Konstantin Preißer. (markt)
        fix	55228: Allow web applications to set a HTTP Date header. (markt)

        fix	Avoid possible NPE if a content type is specified without a character set. (markt)
    Jasper
        fix	55198: Ensure attribute values in tagx files that include EL and quoted XML characters are correctly quoted in the output. (markt)
        fix	55671: Consistently use the configuration option name genStringAsCharArray rather than a mixture of genStrAsCharArray and genStringAsCharArray but retain support for genStrAsCharArray as in initialisation parameter for the JSP servlet to retain backwards compatibility with existing configurations. (markt)
        fix	55691: Fix javax.el.ArrayELResolver to correctly handle the case where the base object is an array of primitives. (markt)
