It's a third party that is running the scan.

Buy a better vulnerability scanner. Specifically, one understands that an 
OPTIONS request returns the methods that are *available* not the methods that 
are *permitted*.

Assuming you haven't changed Tomcat's default configuration any attempt to 
actually PUT or DELETE a resource will be denied.

I have a recollection that we changed the implementation of the OPTIONS request 
to try and help with this sort of thing. Scratch that. That was for TRACE which 
won't be included in an OPTIONS response unless Tomcat can confirm that it has 
been explicitly enabled in the Connector.
