"The version of tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.108-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2TOMCAT9-2025-022 advisory.
Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability in Apache Tomcat made Tomcat vulnerable to the made
you reset attack.
This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.9, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.43 and from
9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.107. Older, EOL versions may also be affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to one of versions 11.0.10, 10.1.44 or 9.0.108 which fix the issue.
