Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a flaw in the CGI Servlet search algorithm.

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw that is due to the program containing an incorrect description for the CGI Servlet search algorithm, which may cause an administrator to leave the system in an insecure state.
