Note: The issue below was fixed in Apache Tomcat 8.5.10 but the release vote for the 8.5.10 release candidate did not pass. Therefore, although users must download 8.5.11 to obtain a version that includes the fix for this issue, version 8.5.10 is not included in the list of affected versions.

Moderate: Information Disclosure CVE-2016-8747

The refactoring to make wider use of ByteBuffer introduced a regression that could cause information to leak between requests on the same connection. When running behind a reverse proxy, this could result in information leakage between users. All HTTP connector variants are affected but HTTP/2 and AJP are not affected.

This was fixed in revision 1774166.

This issue was identified by the Apache Tomcat Security Team on 14 December 2016 and made public on 13 March 2017.

Affects: 8.5.7 to 8.5.9
