SCA: security update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (GHSA-jgwr-3qm3-26f3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416368

Description

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

- The fix for CVE-2020-9484 was incomplete. When using Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0, 9.0.0.M1 to
9.0.41, 8.5.0 to 8.5.61 or 7.0.0. to 7.0.107 with a configuration edge case that was highly unlikely to be
used, the Tomcat instance was still vulnerable to CVE-2020-9494. Note that both the previously published
prerequisites for CVE-2020-9484 and the previously published mitigations for CVE-2020-9484 also apply to
this issue. (CVE-2021-25329)
