I did some experimenting with  tomcat 3.3.1.   It appears to restrict access to any 
directory that starts with the sequence "WEB-INF".   Appending a period, or any other 
character for that matter, does not get around this security check.   Which would mean 
that Tomcat is not vulnerable to this particular exploit.

Subject: Is Tomcat vulnerable to this exploit?

On jGuru, I saw mention of this vulnerability of some webapp containers:
http://www.westpoint.ltd.uk/advisories/wp-02-0002.txt

It doesn't mention any Tomcat versions. Can anyone tell me if Tomcat is NOT
vulnerable to this one?

Thanks,

George McKinney
