Probably one of this are the vulnerabilty descriptions of the bugs:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4017

Looks to be an exact match with
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2938

Note that although initially reported as a Tomcat vulnerability, the root cause
is a JVM bug.

If it's the same issue, Oracle didn't contacted me to notify me about it..
if it is that bug, then it could be fixed via:
https://support.bea.com/application_content/product_portlets/securityadvisories/2810.html

or in that case

Java's side: "%c0%ae" is interpreted as: "\uC0AE" that get's casted to
an ASCII-LOW char, that is: ".".

I really wanted to give a link to a patch, but I think it's better if
this is known by sysadmins so they can filter this using an IDS.
