  - Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's rewrite valve meant that if
    the first condition in an OR chain matched, subsequent non-OR conditions were skipped. This issue affects
    Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.22, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.55, from 9.0.0.M1 through
    9.0.118, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.100. Other versions that have reached end of support may also be affected.
    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.23, 10.1.56 or 9.0.119, which fix the issue.
