How to fix?

There is no fixed version for tomcat.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal. Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 through 7.0.3, 6.0.x, and 5.5.x, when running within a SecurityManager, does not make the ServletContext attribute read-only, which allows local web applications to read or write files outside of the intended working directory, as demonstrated using a directory traversal attack.
