True. Also not an issue with 7.0.8+ and 5.5.33+

False. As per the announcement sent to all the usual places:
<quote>
Tomcat is affected when  accessing a form based security constrained
page or any page that calls javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getLocale() or
javax.servlet.ServletRequest.getLocales().
</quote>

False. See above.

I would add that Oracle have now released a patch for 1.6.0_23. If
running on a patched JVM, CVE-2010-4476 is not an issue for *any* Tomcat
version.
