Low: Information disclosure in authentication headers   CVE-2010-1157

The WWW-Authenticate HTTP header for BASIC and DIGEST authentication includes a realm name. If a <realm-name> element is specified for the application in web.xml it will be used. However, a <realm-name> is not specified then Tomcat will generate realm name using the code snippet request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort(). In some circumstances this can expose the local host name or IP address of the machine running Tomcat. 


Can you update the ports or add the patch? 
Thanks!
