## Description

The HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache Tomcat 5.5.x
before 5.5.34, 6.x before 6.0.33, and 7.x before 7.0.12 does not check qop
values, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended
integrity-protection requirements via a qop=auth value, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184.
