Authentication Bypass via AutoDeploy in Apache Tomcat 5.5 & 6.0

In Apache Tomcat versions 5.5.0 to 5.5.28 and 6.0.0 to 6.0.20, there is an issue with the autodeployment process when autoDeploy is on. It deploys leftover appBase files from a failed undeploy. This might let remote attackers bypass authentication with HTTP requests.
