NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-jsp-2.2-api package and not the tomcat-jsp-2.2-api package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

When running Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.79 on Windows with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via setting the readonly initialisation parameter of the Default to false) it was possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially crafted request. This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained would be executed by the server.
