The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RLSA-2024:0539 advisory.

  - Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.Tomcat from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M10, from     10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.15, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.82 and from 8.5.0 through 8.5.95 did not correctly     parse HTTP trailer headers.
