A vulnerability has been reported for Apache Tomcat 4.0.3 on a Microsoft Windows platform
Apache Tomcat 4.0.3 on a Microsoft Windows platform is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. When making a request for a DOS device file name, Tomcat will throw an exception and respond with an error message. It is also possible for information to be appended to the DOS device when making a request. For example, an attacker can append a malicious JavaScript code to the request, such as 'Javascript:alert(document.domain)'.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 4.0.4 or later.
