We have learned of a security vulnerability in the Apache Tomcat Webdav Servlet implementation. If you use the Tomcat distribution of Geronimo and configure a write-enabled Webdav servlet, you may be affected by this vulnerability. If you do not configure the Webdav servlet or configure read-only Webdav servlets, you are not impacted by this vulnerability. Jetty configurations of Geronimo are not affected by this vulnerability.

This vulnerability impacts all Geronimo releases. Up to and including Geronimo 2.0.2. Read the full article for further details and workaround.
