Tomcat 5.5.25 to 5.5.27 upgrade path available?

Asked by dfiguero

Is there a way to upgrade to Tomcat 5.5.27 to protect from the XSS exploits through the apt-get system or maybe through a patch?

Thank you

Diego.

tomcat is not in the standard repository IIRC, so you should try to contact the vendor where you got tomcat 5.5.25
