SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (GHSA-4vww-mc66-62m6)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410425

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.46 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.66 did not correctly parse the HTTP
transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances leading to the possibility to request smuggling
when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: - Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer encoding header if
the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; - Tomcat honoured the identify encoding;
and - Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
