Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat6 package and not the tomcat6 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

When the default servlet in Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.33 and 7.0.23 to 7.0.90 returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to '/foo/' when the user requested '/foo') a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.
