Package : tomcat9 Version : 9.0.107-0+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-34750 CVE-2024-54677 CVE-2025-31650 CVE-2025-31651 CVE-2025-46701 CVE-2025-48976 CVE-2025-48988 CVE-2025-49125 CVE-2025-52434 CVE-2025-52520 CVE-2025-53506

Several security vulnerabilities have been found in Tomcat 9, a Java web server and servlet engine. Most notably the update improves the handling of HTTP/2 connections and corrects various flaws which can lead to uncontrolled resource consumption and a denial of service.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 9.0.107-0+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat9 packages.
