Log Message:
contains mitigation for the Spring4Shell vulnerability

Upstream changelog:

Tomcat 9.0.62 (remm)
  Catalina

    Add: Effectively disable the WebappClassLoaderBase.getResources()
    method as it is not used and if something accidently exposes the class
    loader this method can be used to gain access to Tomcat internals. (markt)

Tomcat 9.0.61 (remm)
  Catalina

    Code: Harden the CredentialHandler implementations by switching to a
    constant-time implementation for credential comparisons. (schultz/markt)

  Coyote

    Fix: Use a constant for the default TLS cipher suite. This will allow
    skipping setting it in some cases (for example, it does not make sense for
    OpenSSL TLS 1.3). (remm)
    Fix: #487: Improve logging of unknown settings frames. Pull request by
    Thomas Hoffmann. (remm)
    Add: 65975: Add a warning if a TLS virtual host is configured with
    optional certificate authentication and the containing connector is also
    configured to support HTTP/2 as HTTP/2 does not permit optional
    certificate authentication. (markt)
    Add: 65975: Add a warning if a TLS virtual host is configured for TLS
    1.3 with a JSSE implementation and a web application is configured for
    CLIENT-CERT authentication. CLIENT-CERT authentication requires
    post-handshake authentication (PHA) when used with TLS 1.3 but the JSSE
    TLS 1.3 implementation does not support PHA. (markt)
    Fix: Improve the recycling of Processor objects to make it more
    robust. (markt)

  Jasper

    Fix: 65959: Serialize Function as String[] rather Class[]. (remm)

  Web applications

    Fix: 65952: Align --add-opens configuration for jsvc with the current
    Tomcat scripts. (markt)
    Fix: Correct the AJP and HTTP/1.1 Connector configuration pages in the
    documentation web application to show which attributes are applicable to
    all Connectors and which are implementation specific. (markt)

  Other

    Fix: Correct a spelling mistake in the German translations. Thanks to
    Thomas Hoffmann. (markt)
    Fix: 65951: Use the tomcat.output property for OSGi bundle manifest
    paths. (isapir)
    Update: Update to Commons Daemon 1.3.0. (markt)
    Update: Update to Checkstyle 10.0. (markt)
    Update: Update to SpotBugs 4.6.0. (markt)
    Add: Expand the spotbugs Ant task to also cover test code. (markt)
    Update: Update to bnd 6.2.0. (markt)
    Update: Remove OSGi annotations dependency as it is no longer required
    with bnd 6.2.0. (markt)
    Code: Refactor the resource files for the Apache Tomcat installer for
    Windows so that all the resource files are located in a single directory
    in the source tree. (markt)
    Update: Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to
    1.2.32 to pick up Windows binaries built with OpenSSL 1.1.1n.(markt)
    Add: Improvements to Chinese translations contributed by 15625988003.
    (markt)
    Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm)
    Add: Improvements to Japanese translations contributed by tak7iji.
    (markt)
    Add: Expand coverage of translations for jakarta.el package. Based on
    #488 from Volodymyr Siedlecki. (markt)

2022-03-14 Tomcat 9.0.60 (remm)
  Catalina

    Fix: 65921: The type substitution flag for the rewrite valve should
    set the content type for the response, not the request. (markt)
    Fix: #479: Enable the rewrite valve to redirect requests when the
    original request cannot be mapped to a context. This typically happens
    when no ROOT context is defined. Pull request by elkman. (markt)
    Fix: 65940: Fix NullPointerException if an exception occurs during the
    destruction of a Servlet. (markt)

  Coyote

    Fix: Fix regression introduced with 65757 bugfix which better
    identified non request threads but which introduced a similar problem when
    user code was doing sequential operations in a single thread. Test case
    code submitted by Istvan Szekely. (remm)
    Fix: Fix potential thread-safety issue that could cause HTTP/1.1
    request processing to wait, and potentially timeout, waiting for
    additional data when the full request has been received. (markt)
    Fix: Throw IOException rather than IllegalStateException when the
    application attempts to write to an HTTP/2 stream after the client has
    closed the stream. (markt)

  Jasper

    Fix: When resolving methods in EL expressions that use beans and/or
    static fields, ensure that any custom type conversion is considered when
    identifying the method to call. (markt)

  Web applications

    Fix: Correct the name of the value attribute in the new documentation
    of OpenSSLConfCmd elements. (rjung)

    Add: Expand the default mappings used by ServletResponse.setLocale()
    to include a mapping from the ja locale to the Shift_JIS encoding. (markt)
    Fix: 65806: Improve the handling of session ID generation when the
    default algorithm for SecureRandom (SHA1PRNG) is not supported by the
    configured providers as will be the case for a FIPS compliant
    configuration. (markt)
    Fix: #464: Fall back to the class loader used to load JULI when the
    thread context class loader is not set. In a normal Tomcat configuration,
    this will be the system class loader. Based on a pull request by
    jackshirazi. (markt)
    Fix: #469: Include the Java Annotations API in the classes that Tomcat
    will not load from web applications. Pull request provided by ppkarwasz.
    (markt)
    Add: #472: Add support for additional user attributes to
    TomcatPrincipal and GenericPrincipal. Patch provided by Carsten Klein.
    (michaelo)
    Fix: Fix a potential StringIndexOutOfBoundsException exception when
    generating a WebDAV multi-status response after an error during a copy or
    delete. Report the paths relative to the server root for any resources
    with an error. (markt)
    Fix: Improve the format of WebDAV XML responses to make them easier
    for humans to read. The change ensures that there is always a line break
    before starting a new element. (markt)
    Fix: Improve validation of the Destination header for WebDAV MOVE and
    COPY requests. (markt)

  Coyote

    Fix: Correct a regression in the fix for 65454 that meant that
    minSpareThreads and maxThreads settings were ignored when the Connector
    used an internal executor. (markt)
    Fix: 65776: Improve the detection of the Linux duplicate accept bug
    and reduce (hopefully avoid) instances of false positives. (markt)
    Fix: 65848: Revert the change that attempted to align the behaviour of
    client certificate authentication with NIO or NIO2 with OpenSSL for TLS
    between MacOS and Linux/Windows as the root cause was traced to
    configuration differences. (markt)
    Fix: #467: When system time moves backwards (e.g. after clock
    correction), ensure that the cached formatted current date used for HTTP
    headers tracks this change. Pull request provided by zhenguoli. (markt)

  Jasper

    Fix: #474: Prevent a tag file from corrupting the ELContext of the
    calling page. Pull request provided by Dmitri Blinov. (markt)
    Fix: Minor optimisation of serialization for FunctionMapperImpl in
    response to pull request #476. (markt)

  Web applications

    Fix: Remove the applet example from the example web application as
    applets are no longer supported in any major browser. (markt)
    Code: Refactor a small number of pages in the examples web application
    to avoid an issue with reproducible builds due to differences in file
    ordering across different operating systems with Ant's zip task. (markt)

    Java 8. Once back-ported to all currently supported branches, this will
    reduce the number of Java versions developers need to juggle. (markt)
    Code: Use LF line endings for text files in JARs to support
    reproducible builds across different operating systems. (markt)
    Fix: Fix dependencies for individual test targets in Ant build file.

    65454. (markt)
    Fix: Revert the previous fix for 65714 and implement a more
    comprehensive fix. (markt)
    Fix: 65757: Missing initial IO listener notification on Servlet
    container dispatch to another container thread. (remm)
    Fix: Expand the fix for 65757 so that rather than just checking if
    processing is happening on a container thread, the check is now if
    processing is happening on the container thread currently allocated to
    this request/response. (markt)
    Fix: Improve the fix for RST frame ordering added in 9.0.56 to avoid a
    potential deadlock on some systems in non-default configurations. (markt)
    Add: 65767: Add support for certificates that use keys encrypted using
    PBES2. Based on a pull request provided by xiezhaokun. (markt)
    Code: Refactor testing whether a String is a valid HTTP token. (markt)
    Fix: 65785: Perform additional validation of HTTP headers when using
    HTTP/2. (markt)
    Fix: When a Connector or Endpoint is paused, ensure that only new
    connections and new requests on existing connections are stopped while
    allowing in progress requests to run to completion. (markt)

    resource string. (markt)
    Add: Add support for specifying Java 18 (with the value 18) as the
    compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with
    an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a
    warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)

    Add: Add support for POJO WebSocket endpoints to the programmatic
    upgrade that allows applications to opt to upgrade an HTTP connection to
    WebSocket. (markt)
    Fix: 65763: Improve handling of WebSocket connection close if a

    org.apache.juli.AsyncLoggerPollInterval. If set, this property now has no
    effect. (markt)
    Add: Add debug logging to the RestCsrfPreventionFilter. Based on pull
    request #452 by Polina Georgieva. (markt)
    Add: 65710: Implement a workaround for a JVM bug that can trigger a
    file descriptor leak when using multi-part upload and the application does
    not explicitly close an input stream for an uploaded file that was cached
    on disk. (markt)

  Coyote

    Fix: Improve error handling if APR/Native fails to attach TLS
    capabilities to a TLS enabled client connection. (markt)
    Fix: Improve error handling if APR/Native fails to accept an incoming
    connection. (markt)
    Add: Provide protection against a known OS bug that causes the
    acceptor to report an incoming connection more than once. (markt)
    Fix: Avoid unnecessary duplicate read registrations for blocking I/O
    with the NIO connector. (markt)
    Fix: 65677: Improve exception handling for errors during HTTP/1.1
    reads with NIO2. (markt)
    Fix: Refactor APR/native connector shutdown to remove a potential

    Fix: When an error occurs that triggers a stream reset, ensure that
    the first RST frame sent to the client is the one associated with the
    error that triggered the reset. (markt)
    Fix: 65714: Fix exceptions when the security manager is enabled and
    the first request received after starting is an HTTP request to a TLS
    enabled NIO2 connector. (markt)

    incoming HTTP/2 frames for a stream and that stream being reset. (markt)

  Other

    Fix: Switch from Cobertura to JaCoCo for code coverage as Cobertura
    does not support code coverage for code compiled for Java 11 onwards. It
    also removes the need to use a single thread to run the tests. (markt)

2021-11-10 Tomcat 9.0.55 (remm)
  Catalina

    Fix: Improve robustness of JNDIRealm for exceptions occurring when
    getting the connection. Also add missing close when running into issues

    Docs: Add Javadoc comment which listeners must be nested whithin
    Server elements only. (michaelo)
    Add: Add support for custom caching strategies for web application
    resources. This initial implementation allows control over whether or not
    a resource is cached. (markt)

  Coyote

    Code: Improve performance of Connector shutdown - primarily to reduce
    the time it takes to run the test suite. (markt)
    Fix: Refactor the APR/native connector shutdown to reduce the
    possibility of a JVM crash during the connector shutdown. (markt)
    Add: #457: Add a toString() method to MimeHeader to aid debugging.
    (dblevins)
    Add: Add experimental OpenSSL support through the Panama API
    incubating in Java 17, with support for OpenSSL 1.1+. This no longer
    requires tomcat-native or APR. Please refer to the openssl-java17 module
    from the main branch for more details. (remm)
    Fix: Fix APR connector stop so it correctly waits for the sendfile
    thread, if any, to exit. (markt)
    Fix: Do not ignore the error condition if the APR connector is not
    able to open a server socket as continuing in this case will trigger a JVM
    crash. (markt)
    Fix: Fix a potential JVM crash when using the APR/Native connector
    with TLS. A crash could occur if the connector was stopped whilst a
    connection was performing a TLS handshake. (markt)

  Jasper

    Update: Regenerate the EL parser using JavaCC 7.0.10. (markt)
    Fix: Fix a bug that prevented the EL parser correctly parsing a

  WebSocket

    Update: Add a new method WsServerContainer.upgradeHttpToWebSocket() to
    align with the new method that will be available from WebSocket 2.1
    onwards. (markt)

    memory leak when using the JNDI realm. (markt)
    Fix: 65586: Fix the bloom filter used to improve performance of
    archive file look ups in the web resources implementation so it works
    correctly for directory lookups whether or not the provided directory name
    includes the trailing /. (markt)
    Fix: #451: Improve the usefulness of the thread name cache used in
    JULI. Pull request provided by t-gergely. (markt)

  Coyote

    request #449 by Thierry Guérin. (markt)
    Fix: Correct a potential StackOverflowException with HTTP/2 and
    sendfile. (markt)
    Fix: Further improvements in the management of the connection flow
    control window. This addresses various bugs that caused streams to

    rather than high security to align with recent changes in OpenSSL. (markt)
    Fix: Fix an issue that caused some Servlet non-blocking API reads of
    the HTTP request body to incorrectly use blocking IO. (markt)

  Jasper

    Fix: Fix the implementation of MethodExpression.getMethodInfo() so
    that it returns the expected value rather than failing when the method
    expression is defined with the parameter values in the expression rather
    than the types being passed explicitly to
    ExpressionFactory.createMethodExpression(). (markt)

  WebSocket

    Fix: The internal upgrade handler should close the associated
    WebConnection on destroy. (remm)

  Web applications

    Fix: Clarify the JASPIC configuration options in the documentation web
    application. (markt)

  Other

    Fix: 65585: Update obsolete comments at the start of the

2021-09-10 Tomcat 9.0.53 (remm)
  Catalina

    Fix: Enable Tomcat to start if an (old) XML parser is configured that
    does not support allow-java-encodings. A warning will be logged if such an
    XML parser is detected. (markt)
    Fix: Change the behaviour of custom error pages. If an error occurs
    after the response is committed, once the custom error page content has
    been added to the response the connection is now closed immediately rather
    than closed cleanly. i.e. the last chunk that marks the end of the
    response body is no longer sent. This acts as an additional signal to the
    client that the request experienced an error. (markt)
    Fix: 65479: When handling requests using JASPIC authentication, ensure
    that PasswordValidationCallback.getResult() returns the result of the
    password validation rather than always returning false. Fixed via pull
    request #438 provided by Robert Rodewald. (markt)
    Code: Refactor the authenticators to delegate the check for preemptive
    authentication to the individual authenticators where an authentication
    scheme specific check can be performed. Based on pull request #444 by

    intermediate concrete implementation classes and allowing to do partial
    database updates on save. (remm)
    Add: Add a UserDatabase implementation as a superset of the
    DataSourceRealm functionality. (remm)
    Fix: Make sure the dynamic Principal returned by UserDatabaseRealm
    stays up to date with the database contents, and add an option to have it
    be static, similar to the other realms. (remm)
    Add: Add derby-*.jar to the list of JARs to skip when scanning for
    TLDs, web fragments and annotations. (markt)
    Fix: #447. Correct JPMS metadata for catalina.jar. Pull request
    provided by Hui Wang. (markt)

    JDBC and DataSource testing. (remm)
    Add: 65661: Update the internal fork of Apache Commons FileUpload to
    33d2d79 (2021-09-01, 2.0-SNAPSHOT). Refactoring and code clean-up. As a
    result of Commons File Upload now using java.nio.file.Files, applications
    using multi-part uploads need to ensure that the JVM is configured with
    sufficient direct memory to store all in progress multi-part uploads.
    (markt)
    Add: Update the internal fork of Apache Commons Pool to 2.11.1
    (2021-08-17). Improvements, code clean-up and refactoring. (markt)

2021-08-06 Tomcat 9.0.52 (remm)
  Catalina

    Code: 65476: Correct an error in some code clean-up that mean that web
    application classes were not configured with the correct package. (markt)

not released Tomcat 9.0.51 (remm)
  Catalina

    Fix: 65411: Always close the connection when an uncaught
    NamingException occurs to avoid connection locking. Submitted by Ole
    Ostergaard. (remm)
    Fix: 65433: Correct a regression in the fix for 65397 where a
    StringIndexOutOfBoundsException could be triggered if the canonical path
    of the target of a symlink was shorter than the canonical path of the
    directory in which the symlink had been created. Patch provided by Cedomir
    Igaly. (markt)
    Add: 65443: Refactor the CorsFilter to make it easier to extend.
    (markt)
    Fix: To avoid unnecessary cache revalidation, do not add an HTTP
    Expires header when setting adding an HTTP header of CacheControl:
    private. (markt)

  Coyote

    Fix: When writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile (only enabled when
    useAsyncIO is true) the connection flow control window was sometimes
    ignored leading to various error conditions. sendfile now checks both the
    stream and connection flow control windows before writing. (markt)
    Add: Add debug logging for writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile.
    (markt)
    Fix: Correct bugs in the HTTP/2 connection flow control management
    that meant it was possible for a connection to stall waiting for a
    connection flow control window update that had already arrived. Any
    streams on that connection that were trying to write when this happened
    would time out. (markt)
    Fix: 65448: When using TLS with NIO, it was possible for a blocking
    response write to hang just before the final TLS packet associated with
    the response until the connection timed out at which point the final

    Fix: 65454: Fix a race condition that could result in a delay to a new
    request. The new request could be queued to wait for an existing request
    to finish processing rather than the thread pool creating a new thread to
    process the new request. (markt)
    Fix: 65460: Correct a regression introduced in the previous release in
    the change to reduce the number of small HTTP/2 window updates sent for

  Coyote

    Fix: 65368: Improve handling of clean closes of inbound TLS
    connections. Treat them the same way as clean closes of non-TLS
    connections rather than as unknown errors. (markt)
    Fix: Modify the HTTP/2 connector not to sent small updates for stream
    flow control windows to the user agent as, depending on how the user agent
    is written, this may trigger small writes from the user agent that in turn
    trigger the overhead protection. Small updates for stream flow control
    windows are now combined with subsequent flow control window updates for
    that stream to ensure that all stream flow control window updates sent
    from Tomcat are larger than overheadWindowUpdateThreshold. (markt)
    Add: Add additional debug logging to track the current state of the
    HTTP/2 overhead count that Tomcat uses to detect and close potentially
    malicious connections. (markt)
    Update: Many HTTP/2 requests from browsers will trigger one overhead
    frame and one non-overhead frame. Change the overhead calculation so that
    a non-overhead frame reduces the current overhead count by 2 rather than
    1. This means that, over time, the overhead count for a well-behaved
    connection will trend downwards. (markt)
    Update: Change the initial HTTP/2 overhead count from -10 to -10 *
    overheadCountFactor. This means that, regardless of the value chosen for
    overheadCountFactor, when a connection opens 10 overhead frames in a row
    will be required to trigger the overhead protection. (markt)
    Update: Increase the default overheadCountFactor from 1 to 10 and
    change the reduction in overhead count for a non-overhead frame from -2 to
    -20. This allows for a larger range (0-20) to be used for
    overheadCountFactor providing for finer-grained control. (markt)
    Fix: Modify the parsing of HTTP header values that use the 1#token to

    Fix: Expand the unit tests for HttpServlet.doHead() and correct the
    flushing of the response buffer. The buffer used to behave as if it was
    one byte smaller than the configured size. The buffer was flushed (and the
    response committed if required) when the buffer was full. The buffer is
    now flushed (and the response committed if required) if the buffer is full
    and there is more data to write. (markt)
