Call for testing: Security Update for tomcat6

[James Page]

Hi Team!

We currently have a stable release update in -proposed for lucid, 
maverick, natty and oneiric to resolve two security issues:

1) The Hash DoS vulnerability that has been identified in a number of 
languages:

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/cve/2011-4858

2) An inefficiency in the way that tomcat handles parameters which 
causes a potential vulnerability:

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/cve/2012-0022

The update to tomcat6 is a bit bigger than the usual SRU; I have done 
some limited testing using the solr-tomcat package (and it looks OK) but 
due to the size of the changes it would be great for this proposed 
update to get more exposure before it enters -updates!

If you can find the time to try this proposed update out please log 
successful/unsuccessful testing on this bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat6/+bug/909828

Please follow these instructions to enable -proposed:

Thanks in advance and please ping me (jamespage in #ubuntu-server) if 
you need any help.

Cheers

James
