Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tomcat9' package(s) announced via the DLA-3384-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat servlet and JSP engine.

CVE-2022-42252

Apache Tomcat was configured to ignore invalid HTTP headers via setting rejectIllegalHeader to false. Tomcat did not reject a request containing an invalid Content-Length header making a request smuggling attack possible if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that also failed to reject the request with the invalid header.

CVE-2023-28708

When using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https, session cookies created by Apache Tomcat did not include the secure attribute. This could result in the user agent transmitting the session cookie over an insecure channel.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 9.0.31-1~
deb10u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat9 packages.
