Description Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2013-01-23 19:19:37 UTC 
tomcat-instance-manager.bash installed with the currently stable tomcat-7.0.32 has a broken --group option.

It uses "id --group <groupname>" to determine if the group is valid, but this restricts the set of groups that can be used to effectively those that the root user is a member of.
