## Description

Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.29 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.26 might allow
remote attackers to discover the server's hostname or IP address by sending
a request for a resource that requires (1) BASIC or (2) DIGEST
authentication, and then reading the realm field in the WWW-Authenticate
header in the reply.
