-------------------------------------------------------------
An update that solves 6 vulnerabilities and has 6 bug fixes can now be installed.
Description:
This update for tomcat fixes the following issues
Update to Tomcat 9.0.119.
Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2026-50229: improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags in the number guess example (bsc#1269791).
- CVE-2026-53404: always-incorrect control flow implementation in the rewrite valve caused non-OR conditions to be
skipped if the first condition in an OR chain matched (bsc#1269910).
- CVE-2026-53434: error condition not handled when configuring CRLs for a FFM based connector (bsc#1269824).
- CVE-2026-55276: always-incorrect control flow implementation caused special roles and empty authorization constraints
to not be included when the effective web.xml was logged (bsc#1269909).
- CVE-2026-55955: improper authentication allows a replay attack against the EncryptionInterceptor in the cluster
component (bsc#1269908).
- CVE-2026-55956: improper authorization leads to security constraints specified for the default servlet ignoring any
method or method omission configured as part of the constraint (bsc#1269907).
Other updates and bugfixes:
- Tomcat 9.0.119:
* Catalina
+ Add: Add support for literal '%' characters in access log output. Based on
pull request #1002 by Fabian Hahn. (markt)
+ Fix: Prevent duplicate log messages when clustering JARs are not present
on startup. (csutherl)
+ Code: Remove unnecessary code from the SSI processing engine that was
duplicating some of the normalisation checks. (markt)
+ Fix: Cleaner handling of invalid SPNEGO tokens. (remm)
+ Fix: Avoid some NPEs in the Connector class on an uninitialize protocol.
(remm)
+ Fix: Incorrect session average life calculation. (remm)
+ Fix: Improve robustness on using Pipeline.setBasic on a running pipeline.
(remm)
+ Fix: Avoid any init parameter updates when conflicts are found for
filters, similar to what is done for servlets, as required by the servlet
specification. (remm)
+ Fix: Fix container event cleanups in some edge cases. (remm)
+ Fix: Check for last-modified header in ExpiresFilter when a servlet uses
addDateHeader to avoid wrongly considering it has been set. (remm)
+ Fix: Fix hour unit used by ExpiresFilter. (remm)
+ Fix: Remove exception swallowing in DataSourceStore to align it with
FileStore and avoid session loss on errors. (remm)
+ Fix: Add support for single-quote escaped literal as well as quoted
literals in DateFormatCache. (schultz)
+ Fix: On JAAS logout, clear out role principals on the subject that were
added on commit, as recommended by the JAAS specification. (remm)
+ Fix: MemoryRealm should not add a dummy role when none is specified in the
configuration. (remm)
+ Fix: DataSourceUserDatabase should return a null principal on a non
existing user. (remm)
+ Fix: Fix shared lock expiration in WebDAV. (remm)
+ Fix: Inaccurate session exipration statistics when using the persistent
manager. (remm)
+ Fix: Skip BOM when serving files with UTF-32 encoding. (remm)

storeconfig. (remm)
+ Fix: Incorrect processing of modified users in DataSourceUserDatabase.
(remm)
+ Update: Clarify behavior in the UserDatabase for user, role and group
creation that it does not immediately override existing elements. Removal
(or update) needs to be used instead. (remm)
+ Fix: 70049: Align the web application class loader with parent class
loaders and swallow any errors caused by invalid paths when looking up
resources and behave as if the resources were not found in that case.
(markt)
+ Fix: Improve validation of Range and Content-Range parsers so invalid
ranges trigger a 4xx response rather than a 500 response. Pull request
#1012 provided by Sahana Surendra Bogar. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix connection leak in ProxyErrorReportValve. (remm)
+ Fix: When using the RewriteValve, %{SSL:HTTPS} now returns on or off
rather than true or false to align with httpd. (markt)
+ Fix: Reset the encoding used for query string parameters between requests
in case an application changed the encoding in a previous request. (markt)
+ Fix: When encoding URLs with the CsrfPreventionFilter, don't add the nonce
to URLs that are known not to require it. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix CombinedRealm isAvailable, it allows authentication if at least
one sub realm is available. (remm)
+ Fix: 70048: Correctly handle asynchronous requests in PersistentValve.
(markt)
+ Fix: Improve the detection of cross-context dispatches when using a
RequestDispatcher. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix various instances of double decoding of URL patterns configured
either programmatically or in web.xml. (remm/markt)
+ Fix: Align the rewrite conditions ornext flag processing with mod_rewrite,
which follows a purely sequential evaluation strategy. (remm)
+ Fix: Change the default for the useRedirect attribute of the
ProxyErrorReportValve from true to false. (markt)
+ Add: Add support for the showReport attribute in JsonErrorReportValve and
ProxyErrorReportValve. When set to false, detailed error information
(message, description, stack trace) is suppressed from error responses.
(dsoumis)
+ Fix: Avoid a NoClassDefFoundError at startup when catalina-tribes.jar is
removed but catalina-ha.jar is present and the Cluster element is enabled
in server.xml. Cluster digester rules are now fully conditional on both
JARs being available. (dsoumis)
+ Fix: Fix a potential deadlock when copying resources using WebDAV. (markt)
+ Fix: Add jakarta., org.apache.catalina. and org.apache.tomcat.to the list
of reserved prefixes for SSI variables and request attributes. (markt)
+ Fix: Missing URL decoding when processing addMapping on a Servlet
registration. (remm)
+ Fix: The Timeout WebDAV header allows comma separated values (according to
the examples in the RFC). Use the first acceptable value. (remm)
+ Fix: Fix various issues when logging the effective web.xml for a web
application. Empty sections are no longer logged. Special roles and empty
authorisation constraints are included. (markt)
+ Fix: Expand the write lock for the save process in the MemoryUserDatabase
to avoid concurrency issues with the file save operations. (markt)
+ Fix: Ensure atomic session persistence in FileStore. Based on pull request
#1016 by sahvx655-wq. (markt)
+ Fix: Do not ignore methods configured on security constraints that map to
the default servlet. (markt)
* Cluster
+ Fix: Expand wording and increase visibility of log message when cloud
membership is configured without a trust store as all certificates will be
trusted in this configuration. (markt)
+ Fix: Ensure listeners are correctly added and removed when configuring the
channel coordinator. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix some concurrency issues in FragmentationInterceptor. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix some concurrency issues in OrderInterceptor. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix some concurrency issues in TwoPhaseCommitInterceptor. (markt)
+ Fix: Fix concurrency issues generating MD5 digests in the
CloudMembershipProvider implementations. (markt)
+ Add: Add replay protection to the EncryptInterceptor. This is a breaking
change for the EncryptInterceptor. (markt)
* Coyote
+ Add: Log a suitable warning if an encrypted PEM file is detected using an
insecure form for encryption. (markt)
+ Fix: If TLS groups have been configured, use the configured groups rather
than using OpenSSL's default TLS groups when using Tomcat Native with
OpenSSL based connectors. (markt)
+ Fix: For HTTP/2, ensure that any in progress request body reads are
cancelled if the container resets the associated stream. This prevents
delays waiting for reads to time out when it is known that no more data
will be received. (markt)
+ Fix: Ensure that malformed HTTP/2 messages that should trigger a stream
reset do so, rather than triggered a connection close. (markt)
+ Fix: Improve enforcement of header trailer allow list for HTTP/2. (remm)
+ Fix: 70050: Avoid NPE when no header frame is processed in HTTP/2,
following refactor clean-up of header buffer. (remm)

allows the consistency check for the scheme provided by the user agent to
be bypassed. (markt)
+ Fix: isTrailerFieldsReady was always returning true. (remm)
+ Fix: Align OpenSSL/Panama TLS implementation with other implementations
and throw an exception if there is an error loading the provided CRL(s).
(markt)
+ Fix: Parsing of OpenSSL format cipher expressions incorrectly stopped if
@STRENGTH was encountered, ignoring any subsequent expressions. (markt)
+ Fix: Handle the case where the HTTP/2 payload length is insufficient for
the mandatory data required by the flags set in the header. (markt)
+ Fix: 70102: Correct expected size of ticket keys when calling
setSessionTicketKeys with an FFM connector. (markt)
+ Fix: 69988: Fix post handshake authentication for TLS 1.3. It was broken
by a breaking change in OpenSSL between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0. (markt)
+ Fix: When processing an OpenSSL cipher specification, fully align the
order of the resulting ciphers with the order produced by OpenSSL. (markt)

programmatic endpoint. Test case provided by uabdur. (markt)
+ Fix: If a client presents invalid parameters when negotiating a WebSocket
extension, decline the negotiation offer that includes the invalid
parameters rather than failing the connection. Pull request #1019 provided
by sahvx655-wq. (markt)
