 - Fixed expand checks for webAppMount (bsc#1244649).
 - Hardening permissions (bsc#1242722)

 Update to Tomcat 10.1.42:

 * Fixed CVEs:

 - CVE-2025-46701: refactor CGI servlet to access resources via WebResources (bsc#1243815)
 - CVE-2025-48988: limits the total number of parts in a multi-part request and limits the size of the headers provided with each part (bsc#1244656)
 - CVE-2025-49125: Expand checks for webAppMount (bsc#1244649)

 * Catalina:

 - Add: Support for the java:module namespace which mirrors the java:comp namespace.
 - Add: Support parsing of multiple path parameters separated by ; in a single URL segment. Based on pull request #860 by Chenjp.
 - Add: Support for limiting the number of parameters in HTTP requests through the new ParameterLimitValve. The valve allows configurable URL-specific limits on the number of parameters.
 - Fix: 69699: Encode redirect URL used by the rewrite valve with the session id if appropriate, and handle cross context with different session configuration when using rewrite.
 - Add: #863: Support for comments at the end of lines in text rewrite map files to align behaviour with Apache httpd. Pull request provided by Chenjp.
 - Fix: 69706: Saved request serialization issue in FORM introduced when allowing infinite session timeouts.
 - Fix: Expand the path checks for Pre-Resources and Post-Resources mounted at a path within the web application.
 - Fix: Use of SSS in SimpleDateFormat pattern for AccessLogValve.
 - Fix: Process possible path parameters rewrite production in the rewrite valve.
 - Fix: 69588: Enable allowLinking to be set on PreResources, JarResources and PostResources. If not set explicitly, the setting will be inherited from the Resources.
 - Add: 69633: Support for Filters using context root mappings.
 - Fix: 69643: Optimize directory listing for large amount of files.
 Patch submitted by Loic de l'Eprevier.
 - Fix: #843: Off by one validation logic for partial PUT ranges and associated test case. Submitted by Chenjp.
 - Refactor: Replace the unused buffer in org.apache.catalina.connector.InputBuffer with a static, zero length buffer.
 - Refactor: GCI servlet to access resources via the WebResource API.
 - Fix: 69662: Report name in exception message when a naming lookup failure occurs. Based on code submitted by Donald Smith.
 - Fix: Ensure that the FORM authentication attribute authenticationSessionTimeout works correctly when sessions have an infinite timeout when authentication starts.
 - Add: Provide a content type based on file extension when web application resources are accessed via a URL.
 * Coyote
 - Refactor: #861: TaskQueue to use the new interface RetryableQueue which enables better integration of custom Executors which provide their own BlockingQueue implementation. Pull request provided by Paulo Almeida.
 - Add: Finer grained control of multi-part request processing via two new attributes on the Connector element. maxPartCount limits the total number of parts in a multi-part request and maxPartHeaderSize limits the size of the headers provided with each part. Add support for these new attributes to the ParameterLimitValve.
 - Refactor: The SavedRequestInputFilter so the buffered data is used directly rather than copied.

 * Jasper:

 + Fix: 69696: Mark the JSP wrapper for reload after a failed compilation.
 + Fix: 69635: Add support to jakarta.el.ImportHandler for resolving inner classes.
 + Add: #842: Support for optimized execution of c:set and c:remove tags, when activated via JSP servlet param useNonstandardTagOptimizations.
 + Fix: An edge case compilation bug for JSP and tag files on case insensitive file systems that was exposed by the test case for 69635.

 * Web applications:

 + Fix: 69694: Improve error reporting of deployment tasks done using the manager webapp when a copy operation fails.
 + Add: 68876: Documentation. Update the UML diagrams for server start-up, request processing and authentication using PlantUML and include the source files for each diagram.

 * Other:

 + Add: Thread name to webappClassLoader.stackTraceRequestThread message. Patch provided by Felix Zhang.
 + Update: Tomcat Native to 2.0.9.
 + Update: The internal fork of Apache Commons FileUpload to 1.6.0-RC1 (2025-06-05).

 + Fix: Use the full path when the installer for Windows sets calls icacls.exe to set file permissions.
 + Update: Improvements to Japanese translations provided by tak7iji.
 + Fix: Set sun.io.useCanonCaches in service.bat Based on pull request #841 by Paul Lodge.
 + Update: Jacoco to 0.8.13.
 + Code: Explicitly set the locale to be used for Javadoc. For official releases, this locale will be English (US) to support reproducible builds.
 + Update: Byte Buddy to 1.17.5.
