    (CVE-2026-65927)

    * tomcat: Apache Tomcat: Improper Input Validation allows HTTP/2 no-authority bypass of strict SNI
    validation (CVE-2026-65637)

    * tomcat: Apache Tomcat: Improper Authentication due to principal lookup failure (CVE-2026-68569)

    * tomcat: Apache Tomcat: Authentication bypass via limited replay attack in DIGEST authenticator
    (CVE-2026-65905)

    * tomcat: Apache Tomcat: Unauthorized resource access via FORM authentication bypass (CVE-2026-68525)
