CVE-2009-2902 is a directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.20. Tomcat improperly handles directory-traversal sequences embedded in a WAR archive filename during deployment-related processing. A remote attacker can use a crafted WAR filename to cause deletion of files in Tomcat's work directory.
