  - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in the examples web application provided with Apache
    Tomcat leads to denial of service. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.1, from
    10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.33, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.9.97. The following versions were EOL at the time the
    CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions may also be
    affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.2, 10.1.34 or 9.0.98, which fixes the issue.
