--- Comment #14 from Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> ---
I think that this listener must be mentioned on "security-howto.xml".

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/security-howto.html#Listeners

It can be configured in any container (e.g. in context.xml) and it will load an
arbitrary DLL, and I think that this will be done with only Tomcat code in the
call stack. That means that it will run with Tomcat's
"java.security.AllPermission" permissions.

This is not a problem, as server.xml/context.xml are edited by a trusted
administrator. But whoever does a security audit of those files should be aware
of this effect. Thus I think this listener should be mentioned.
