"The version of tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.107-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT9-2025-021 advisory.

    Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') vulnerability
    in Apache Tomcat when using the APR/Native connector. This was particularly noticeable with client
    initiated closes of HTTP/2 connections.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.106.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.0.107, which fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-52434)

    For some unlikely configurations of multipart upload, an Integer Overflow vulnerability in Apache Tomcat
    could lead to a DoS via bypassing of size limits.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.8, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.42, from
    9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.106.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.9, 10.1.43 or 9.0.107, which fix the issue.
    (CVE-2025-52520)

    Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Tomcat if an HTTP/2 client did not acknowledge
    the initial settings frame that reduces the maximum permitted concurrent streams.

    This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.8, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.42, from
    9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.106.

    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.9, 10.1.43 or 9.0.107, which fix the issue.
    (CVE-2025-53506)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
