Hello,

I'd like to know what I should upgrade - tomcat or apache httpd?

CVE pointed out that some of the Tomcat versions on Linux  have vulnerability.
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2729

I have opentaps 1.0.3(include tomcat 5.5.20) version running on apache
2.2.3 by using mod_jk. Do you think I need to upgrade tomcat or
apache? It's little bit difficult to upgrade opentaps version itself.

It might not be so difficult to upgrade both, but I'd like to make
sure what's real problem before taking next step.

My doube is, if tomcat is being used through mod_jk, then, the tomcat
version itself might not be matter. And this mean I do not need to
upgrade tomcat, but rather need to upgrade apache httpd which would be
the interface of the server. According to CVE posting, it says I need
to upgrade to tomcat which include vulnerable version of jsvc. Thus I
need to upgrade to jsvc 1.0.7 or later(I guess it's being used in
tomcat & apache both). But I couldn't find what version of jsvc is
being used on apache httpd 2.2.3. So I'm not sure I need to upgrade
apache httpd itself as well or not.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Thank you.
Soon-Won Park
