    Package        : tomcat9
    Version        : 9.0.43-2~deb11u11
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-21733 CVE-2024-38286 CVE-2024-50379 CVE-2024-52316
                     CVE-2024-56337

    Several problems have been addressed in Tomcat 9, a Java based web server,
    servlet and JSP engine which may lead to a denial-of-service or the disclosure
    of sensitive information.

    CVE-2024-21733

        Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information vulnerability
        in Apache Tomcat.

    CVE-2024-38286

        Apache Tomcat, under certain configurations, allows an attacker to cause an
        OutOfMemoryError by abusing the TLS handshake process.

    CVE-2024-52316

        Unchecked Error Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If Tomcat is
        configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC)
        ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the
        authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to
        indicate failure, the authentication may not fail, allowing the user to
        bypass the authentication process. There are no known Jakarta
        Authentication components that behave in this way.

    CVE-2024-50379 / CVE-2024-56337

        Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability during JSP
        compilation in Apache Tomcat permits an RCE on case insensitive file
        systems when the default servlet is enabled for write (non-default
        configuration).
        Some users may need additional configuration to fully mitigate
        CVE-2024-50379 depending on which version of Java they are using with
        Tomcat. For Debian 11 bullseye the system property
        sun.io.useCanonCaches must be explicitly set to false (it defaults to
        true). Most Debian users will not be affected because Debian uses case
        sensitive file systems by default.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    9.0.43-2~deb11u11.

    We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat9 packages.

    its security tracker page at:
