The short version is that the version of Tomcat provided by Ubuntu may not be an exact match for a version released by the ASF. The problem is that Linux distributions often update to a Tomcat version and then, when a new version with a security fix is released, backport just the fix rather than updating to the new release. What you really need to know is the base version and what patched have been applied. And that is before you get into the habit Linux distros have of distributing a Tomcat install all over the file system. (Yes they have a good reason for doing this but this has been known to cause issues and it makes it a whole lot more difficult for us to support because we have no idea what files have been put where.) I'd recommend starting here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/java/tomcat7 It looks like the latest version is based on 7.0.52 with patches for the known issues in 7.0.53. It looks like they opted not to patch for the known issue in 7.0.54. Hmm. Not sure I entirely agree with that call. If you are running shared Tomcat hosting on Ubuntu Trusty you'd have a problem. They haven't included in the fix for 7.0.55 either but since it was only announced a few hours ago it isn't reasonable to expect them to react that fast.
