✅ Remediation

Note: /etc/tomcat5/web.xml has been updated to disable directory listing by default. If you have previously modified /etc/tomcat5/web.xml, this change will not be made automatically and you should manually update the value for the "listings" parameter to "false". Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188
