Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2017-11-01 06:10:22 UTC 
CVE-2017-12617 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2017-12617):
  When running Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0, 8.5.0 to 8.5.22,
  8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.46 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.81 with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via
  setting the readonly initialisation parameter of the Default servlet to
  false) it was possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially
  crafted request. This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained
  would be executed by the server.

@Maintainers could you confirm if we are affected by this CVE? Please call for stabilization when ready if that's the case.

Thank you
