    Tomcat is the servlet container that is used in the official Reference
    Implementation for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies.
    The Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages specifications are developed by
    Sun under the Java Community Process.
    Tomcat is developed in an open and participatory environment and
    released under the Apache Software License version 2.0. Tomcat is intended
    to be a collaboration of the best-of-breed developers from around the world.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2017-5648
    While investigating bug 60718, it was noticed that some calls to
    application listeners in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M17, 8.5.0 to
    8.5.11, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.41, and 7.0.0 to 7.0.75 did not use the
    appropriate facade object. When running an untrusted application under
    a SecurityManager, it was therefore possible for that untrusted
    application to retain a reference to the request or response object
    and thereby access and/or modify information associated with another
    web application.
    CVE-2017-5664
    The error page mechanism of the Java Servlet Specification requires
    that, when an error occurs and an error page is configured for the
    error that occurred, the original request and response are forwarded
    to the error page. This means that the request is presented to the
    error page with the original HTTP method. If the error page is a
    static file, expected behaviour is to serve content of the file as if
    processing a GET request, regardless of the actual HTTP method. The
    Default Servlet in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M20, 8.5.0 to
    8.5.14, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.43 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.77 did not do this.
    Depending on the original request this could lead to unexpected and
    undesirable results for static error pages including, if the
    DefaultServlet is configured to permit writes, the replacement or
    removal of the custom error page. Notes for other user provided error
    pages: (1) Unless explicitly coded otherwise, JSPs ignore the HTTP
    method.  JSPs used as error pages must must ensure that they handle
    any error dispatch as a GET request, regardless of the actual method.
    (2) By default, the response generated by a Servlet does depend on
    the HTTP method.  Custom Servlets used as error pages must ensure
    that they handle any error dispatch as a GET request, regardless of
    the actual method.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
