Welcome.
By the way, I found the reference to the article below by entering this on 
Google :

CVE-2014-7810 and Tomcat

So if you have any more similar issues..

The references at the bottom of that article may also be of help :
[1] http://tomcat.apache.org/security-8.html
[2] http://tomcat.apache.org/security-7.html
[3] http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html

(or not, as the case may be. But it is always better to be informed, isn't it ?)

You are saying a malicious actor would need to be on the server itself to load 
an application?


Basically yes, or be allowed to load and deploy applications via the Manager 
application
(which is either not installed, or anyway secured by default)

It is fairly clear in the mail archive article I quoted below, which is signed 
by one of
the core Tomcat developers.

Seeking guidance on mitigation of 
CVE-2014-7810<http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-7810> on 
Apache Tomcat 6.0.37. Upgrading to 6.0.43 is not an option for my team at the moment, 
and we need to secure our install via other means until the patch can be applied. If 
there are any workaround that can be provided it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi.
Maybe the first thing to ask yourself, is if you are in a situation where you 
are really
vulnerable to this vulnerability.
I am not an expert, but from the description, it sounds like this vulnerability 
could only
be exploited by someone who has the possibility to load a malicious web 
application into
the Tomcat system, and have it be run.
Is that your case ?
