I have two questions regarding security fixes included in 5.5.25
 
On changelog page (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/changelog.html),
two security fixes are included: Fix XSS security vulnerability
(CVE-2007-2450) and Fix XSS security vulnerabilities (CVE-2007-2449)
But on Security Reports page(http://tomcat.apache.org/security-5.html),
three more vulnerabilities are reported as fixed (in 5.5 HEAD): Session
hi-jacking   CVE-2007-3382, Session hi-jacking   CVE-2007-3385, and
Cross-site scripting   CVE-2007-3386.

I am especially interested in those two session hijacking vulnerability
fixes. Are they included in 5.5.25?
 

Second question is: if they are fixed in 5.5.25, is it possible to just drop
in the Jar files (catalina.jar?) to the current production Tomcat server/lib
(it's 5.5.23) to apply the security fixes? (I guess i'd have to restart
Tomcat still) Or must I re-install the whole package?

Thanks for help in advance.
