medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435836

Description

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

 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If an error occurred (including
 exceeding limits) during the processing of a multipart upload, temporary copies of the uploaded parts
 written to disc were not cleaned up immediately but left for the garbage collection process to delete.
 Depending on JVM settings, application memory usage and application load, it was possible that space for
 the temporary copies of uploaded parts would be filled faster than GC cleared it, leading to a DoS. This
 issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.11, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.46, from 9.0.0.M1
 through 9.0.109. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be
 affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to
 upgrade to version 11.0.12 or later, 10.1.47 or later or 9.0.110 or later which fixes the issue.
