Note: The issues below were fixed in Apache Tomcat 6.0.46 but the release vote for the 6.0.46 release candidate did not pass. Therefore, although users must download 6.0.47 to obtain a version that includes fixes for these issues, version 6.0.46 is not included in the list of affected versions.
Low: Unrestricted Access to Global Resources CVE-2016-6797
The ResourceLinkFactory did not limit web application access to global JNDI resources to those resources explicitly linked to the web application. Therefore, it was possible for a web application to access any global JNDI resource whether an explicit ResourceLink had been configured or not.
This was fixed in revision 1757285.
This issue was identified by the Apache Tomcat Security Team on 18 January 2016 and made public on 27 October 2016.
Affects: 6.0.0 to 6.0.45
Low: Security Manager Bypass CVE-2016-6796

Low: System Property Disclosure CVE-2016-6794
When a SecurityManager is configured, a web application’s ability to read system properties should be controlled by the SecurityManager. Tomcat’s system property replacement feature for configuration files could be used by a malicious web application to bypass the SecurityManager and read system properties that should not be visible.
This was fixed in revision 1754733.

The Realm implementations did not process the supplied password if the supplied user name did not exist. This made a timing attack possible to determine valid user names. Note that the default configuration includes the LockOutRealm which makes exploitation of this vulnerability harder.
This was fixed in revision 1758506.
