Apache Tomcat contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the Manager and Host Manager applications do not validate the filename of files uploaded via the /manager/html/upload utility. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
