[Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org>]

The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 7.0.40.

Apache Tomcat is an open source software implementation of the Java
Servlet, JavaServer Pages and Java Expression Language technologies.

This release contains a security fix and a number of bug fixes
and improvements compared to version 7.0.39. The notable changes include:
- A fix for CVE-2013-2071 (bug <bug>54178</bug>) an informatio
  disclosure issue.
- Various fixes to stop Tomcat attempting to parse text that looks like
  an EL expression in a JSP document as an EL expression when EL
  expressions are either not permitted or not enabled.
- Improved handling and reporting if a ConcurrentModificationException
  occurs while checking for memory leaks when a web application is
   being stopped.

Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes:

Note: This version has 4 zip binaries: a generic one and three
      bundled with Tomcat native binaries for Windows operating systems
      running on different CPU architectures.

Note: If you use the APR/native AJP or HTTP connector you *must* upgrade
      to version 1.1.24 or later of the AJP/native library and it is
      recommended that you upgrade to 1.1.27
