    Buffer over-read vulnerability in Apache Tomcat Native during the TLS handshake permits a malicious user
    to trigger a DoS via a JVM crash.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat Native: from 2.0.0 through 2.0.15, from 1.3.0 through 1.3.8. Earlier,
    unsupported versions may also be affected.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.3.9 or 2.0.16, which fix the issue. (CVE-2026-86243)

    Initialization of a resource with an insecure default vulnerability in Apache Tomcat Native enabled
    insecure options by default  including ALLOW_CLIENT_RENEGOTIATION, NO_EXTENDED_MASTER_SECRET,
    IGNORE_UNEXPECTED_EOF and ALLOW_NO_DHE_KEX.



    This issue affects Apache Tomcat Native: from 2.0.0 through 2.0.15, from 1.3.0 through 1.3.8. Earlier
    unsupported versions may also be affected.



    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.16 or 1.3.9, which fix the issue. (CVE-2026-86246)

    Race condition within a thread vulnerability in Apache Tomcat Native allowed client certificate
    verification requirements to be down-graded for some configurations.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat Native: from 2.0.0 through 2.0.15, from 1.3.0 through 1.3.8. Unsupported
    versions may also be affected.
