5 | <p>The Java <strong>SecurityManager</strong> is what allows a web browser |
---|
6 | to run an applet in its own sandbox to prevent untrusted code from |
---|
7 | accessing files on the local file system, connecting to a host other |
---|
8 | than the one the applet was loaded from, and so on. In the same way |
---|
9 | the SecurityManager protects you from an untrusted applet running in |
---|
10 | your browser, use of a SecurityManager while running Tomcat can protect |
---|
11 | your server from trojan servlets, JSPs, JSP beans, and tag libraries. |
---|
12 | Or even inadvertent mistakes.</p> |

13 | |

20 | <p>Every time this JSP was executed by Tomcat, Tomcat would exit. |

24 | <p><strong>WARNING</strong> - A security audit |

25 | have been conducted using the Tomcat 6 codebase. Most of the critical |
