possibly use this flaw with a specially crafted URI to bypass security
constraint checks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu
11.10 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-3546)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled requests that lack a
session identifier. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to
bypass the cross-site request forgery protection. (CVE-2012-4431)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled sendfile and HTTPS
when the NIO connector is used. A remote attacker could use this flaw
to cause Tomcat to stop responsing, resulting in a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu
12.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-4534).
