SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (GHSA-99rf-92v6-cwx4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413180

Description

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

 - The replay-countermeasure functionality in the HTTP Digest Access Authentication implementation in Apache
 Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.36, 6.x before 6.0.36, and 7.x before 7.0.30 tracks cnonce (aka client nonce)
 values instead of nonce (aka server nonce) and nc (aka nonce-count) values, which makes it easier for
 remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by sniffing the network for valid requests, a
 different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1184. (CVE-2012-5885)
