See, I believe in the statement that the more components you're adding
to an environment, the more possibilities there are for a
security-hole. However, to believe is not to know...
However, when I check full-disclosure and other security-lists, I see
few issues referring to Tomcat, but I see quite some issues referring
to HTTPD and it's modules.
I guess if you're once able to break HTTPD and found your way into the
box, harm is on it's way. I further /believe/ that from this point it
makes sense to use as few components as possible.
Anyhow, that's what I believe, not what I know.
Cheers
Gregor
