Update to Tomcat 9.0.120.
Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2026-59083: incorrect URL decoding in `RewriteValve` may allow security control bypass
(bsc#1271397).
- CVE-2026-59084: `EncryptInterceptor` requirements are not clearly documented (bsc#1271398).
Other updates and bugfixes:
- Tomcat 9.0.120:
* Catalina
- Fix: Avoid a race condition with concurrent lookups for a singleton JNDI
resource. (markt)
- Fix: Improve the performance of range validation for the default
servlet. (markt)
- Fix: Avoid NPE in RewriteValve. (markt)
- Fix: 70127: Fix use of Bootstrap through reflection by restoring the
public constructor. Use through scripts was not affected. (remm)
- Fix: Restore ability to extend many element classes from
AbstractAccessLogValve. (remm)
- Fix: Align DIGEST authentication with RFC 7616 and require clients to
provide a valid qop parameter. (markt)
- Fix: Use Files API to create temporary docBase when antiLockingDocBase
is enabled. (markt)
- Fix: Improve validation of configuration when DataSourceRealm starts.
(remm)
- Fix: JAASRealm should do a logout if login does not fail outright but
does not produce a Principal. (remm)
- Fix: Various edge cases for SSI substitutions, quoting and escaping.
- Fix: unintentional conversion of literal + to a space during rule
processing in the RewriteValve. (markt)
* Coyote
- Fix: Avoid a potential JVM crash if a suitable version of Tomcat Native
is not available when the connector is explicitly configured to use
Tomcat Native with OpenSSL for TLS. (markt)
- Fix: Correct a regression introduced in 9.0.119 that broke reading of
some request bodies via a Reader. (markt)
* Jasper
- Fix: 70120: The fix for 69399 (itself a fix for a regression in the fix
for 69333) was incomplete and tags that threw exceptions in doStartTag()
and doEndTag() were incorrectly re-used. This fix prevents tags from
being re-used if such an exception occurs. (markt)
- Fix: 70135: Fix security classload regression. (remm)
- Add: support for specifying Java 28 (with the value 28) as the compiler
source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an
Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a
warning will be logged and the default will be used. (markt)
* WebSocket
- Fix: 70126: Fix WebSocket extension permessage-deflate so that it does
not drop bytes if a compressed message inflates to more than the
available buffer. Fix written by GPT-5.5. Test case written by Hironori
Ichimiya. (markt)
- Fix: Optimise WebSocket client processing of server responses during
WebSocket HTTP upgrade process. (markt)
* Other
- Update: Byte Buddy to 1.18.9. (markt)
- Update: UnboundID to 7.0.5. (markt)
- Update: JaCoCo to 0.8.15. (markt)
- Update: BND to 7.3.0. (markt)
- Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm)
- Add: Improvements to Japanese translations provided by tak7iji. (markt)
