+ <h3>14 January 2002 - Apache Tomcat 3.3 Updated to 3.3a</h3>
+ <p><b>Important Notice:</b> The Tomcat 3.3 release has been updated to
+3.3a to deal with a DOS vulnerability on Windows systems. The
+vulnerability allows a special HTTP request to hang and never complete.
+This prevents the thread handling the request from handling any further requests
+until Tomcat is restarted. Other systems are not affected, and both
+Tomcat 3.2.x and Tomcat 4.x do not have this vunerability.</p>
+ <p>It is recommended that everyone using Tomcat 3.3 on a Windows system
+upgrade to 3.3a. This is possible using the full Tomcat 3.3a binary
+distribution, or by updating jar(s) in an existing Tomcat 3.3 installation.
+These may be found
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.3/bin">here</a>
+along with additional information.</p>
