SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core, org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote (GHSA-qcxh-w3j9-58qr)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418075

Description

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

 - The HTTP/2 implementation in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.14 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.37 accepted streams with
 excessive numbers of SETTINGS frames and also permitted clients to keep streams open without
 reading/writing request/response data. By keeping streams open for requests that utilised the Servlet
 API's blocking I/O, clients were able to cause server-side threads to block eventually leading to thread
 exhaustion and a DoS. (CVE-2019-0199)

Solution

Update the org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core library and its related packages to version 8.5.38 or later.
