following were true, a malicious user was able to view security sensitive files and/or inject content into
those files: - writes enabled for the default servlet (disabled by default) - support for partial PUT
(enabled by default) - a target URL for security sensitive uploads that was a sub-directory of a target
URL for public uploads - attacker knowledge of the names of security sensitive files being uploaded - the
security sensitive files also being uploaded via partial PUT If all of the following were true, a
malicious user was able to perform remote code execution: - writes enabled for the default servlet
(disabled by default) - support for partial PUT (enabled by default) - application was using Tomcat's file
based session persistence with the default storage location - application included a library that may be
leveraged in a deserialization attack Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.3, 10.1.35 or
