Description

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

 - In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M18 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.12, the refactoring of the HTTP connectors
 introduced a regression in the send file processing. If the send file processing completed quickly, it was
