This bug was fixed in the package tomcat7 - 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.7
---------------
tomcat7 (7.0.52-1ubuntu0.7) trusty-security; urgency=medium
* SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via insecure init script
- debian/tomcat7.init: don't follow symlinks when handling the
catalina.out file.
- CVE-2016-1240
* SECURITY REGRESSION: change in behaviour after security update
(LP: #1609819)
- debian/patches/CVE-2015-5345-2.patch: fix using the new
mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled option in
java/org/apache/catalina/connector/MapperListener.java, change
mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled default to true in
java/org/apache/catalina/core/StandardContext.java,
webapps/docs/config/context.xml. This reverts the change in behaviour
following the CVE-2015-5345 security update and was also done
upstream in later releases.
