www/apache-tomcat85: Update to 8.5.100
Changelog:
2024-03-25 Tomcat 8.5.100 (schultz)
Catalina
* Fix: Align error handling for Writer and OutputStream. Ensure use of either
once the response has been recycled triggers a NullPointerException
provided that discardFacades is configured with the default value of true.
* Fix: 68495: When restoring a saved POST request after a successful FORM
authentication, ensure that neither the URI, the query string nor the
protocol are corrupted when restoring the request body. (markt)
* Fix: 68721: Workaround a possible cause of duplicate class definitions when
using ClassFileTransformers and the transformation of a class also triggers
the loading of the same class. (markt)
* Fix: The rewrite valve should not do a rewrite if the output is identical
to the input. (remm)
* Update: Add a new valveSkip (or VS) rule flag to the rewrite valve to allow
skipping over the next valve in the Catalina pipeline. (remm)
* Add: Add checking of the "age" of the running Tomcat instance since its
build-date to the SecurityListener, and log a warning if the server is old.
(schultz)
* Fix: When using the AsyncContext, throw an IllegalStateException, rather
than allowing an NullPointerException, if an attempt is made to use the
AsyncContext after it has been recycled. (markt)
Coyote
* Fix: Improve the HTTP/2 stream prioritisation process. If a stream uses all
of the connection windows and still has content to write, it will now be
added to the backlog immediately rather than waiting until the write
attempt for the remaining content. (markt)
* Fix: Correct a regression in the support for user provided SSLContext
instances that broke the
org.apache.catalina.security.TLSCertificateReloadListener. (markt)
Jasper
* Add: Add support for specifying Java 22 (with the value 22) 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)
* Fix: Handle the case where the JSP engine forwards a request/response to a
Servlet that uses an OutputStream rather than a Writer. This was triggering
an IllegalStateException on code paths where there was a subsequent attempt
to obtain a Writer. (markt)
* Fix: Correctly handle the case where a tag library is packaged in a JAR
file and the web application is deployed as a WAR file rather than an
unpacked directory. (markt)
Other
* Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm)
* Add: Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)
* Fix: 57130: Allow digest.(sh|bat) to accept password from a file or stdin.
(csutherl/schultz)
* Update: Update Checkstyle to 10.14.1. (markt)
2024-02-19 Tomcat 8.5.99 (schultz)
Catalina
* Fix: Fix ServiceBindingPropertySource so that trailing \r\n sequences are
correctly removed from files containing property values when configured to
do so. Bug identified by Coverity Scan. (markt)
* Add: Add improvements to the CSRF prevention filter including the ability
to skip adding nonces for resource name and subtree URL patterns. (schultz)
* Fix: Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping
operations from debug level to trace. (remm)
* Fix: 68089: Further improve the performance of request attribute access for
ApplicationHttpRequest and ApplicationRequest. (markt)
* Fix: 68559: Allow asynchronous error handling to write to the response
after an error during asynchronous processing. (markt)
Coyote
* Fix: Make asynchronous error handling more robust. Ensure that once a
connection is marked to be closed, further asynchronous processing cannot
change that. (markt)
* Fix: Make asynchronous error handling more robust. Ensure that once the
call to AsyncListener.onError() has returned to the container, only
container threads can access the AsyncContext. This protects against
various race conditions that woudl otherwise occur if application threads
continued to access the AsyncContext.
* Fix: Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping
operations from debug level to trace. In particular, most of the HTTP/2
debug logging has been changed to trace level. (remm)
* Fix: Add support for user provided SSLContext instances configured on
SSLHostConfigCertificate instances. Based on pull request #673 provided by
Hakan Alt??nda?. (markt)
* Fix: Improve the Tomcat Native shutdown process to reduce the likelihood of
a JVM crash during Tomcat shutdown. (markt)
* Fix: Partial fix for 68558: Cache the result of converting to String for
request URI, HTTP header names and the request Content-Type value to
improve performance by reducing repeated byte[] to String conversions.
(markt)
* Fix: Improve error reporting to HTTP/2 clients for header processing errors
by reporting problems at the end of the frame where the error was detected
rather than at the end of the headers. (markt)
* Fix: Remove the remaining reference to a stream once the stream has been
recycled. This makes the stream eligible for garbage collection earlier and
thereby improves scalability. (markt)
Jasper
* Fix: 68546: Generate optimal size and types for JSP imports maps, as
suggested by John Engebretson. (remm)
* Fix: Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping
operations from debug level to trace. (remm)
WebSocket
* Fix: Correct a regression in the fix for 66508 that could cause an
UpgradeProcessor leak in some circumstances. (markt)
* Fix: Review usage of debug logging and downgrade trace or data dumping
operations from debug level to trace. (remm)
* Fix: Ensure that WebSocket connection closure completes if the connection
is closed when the server side has used the proprietary suspend/resume
feature to suspend the connection. (markt)
Web applications
* Add: Add support for responses in JSON format from the examples application
RequestHeaderExample. (schultz)
Other
* Update: Update Checkstyle to 10.13.0. (markt)

with those in httpd by adding application/vnd.geogebra.slides for ggs, text
/javascript for mjs and audio/ogg for opus. (markt)
Coyote
* Fix: Refactor the VirtualThreadExecutor so that it can be used by the NIO2
connector which was using platform threads even when configured to use
virtual threads. (markt)
* Fix: Correct a regression in the fix for 67675 that broke TLS key file
parsing for PKCS#8 format keys that do not specify an explicit
pseudo-random function and rely on the default. This typically affects keys
generated by OpenSSL 1.0.2. (markt)
* Fix: Allow multiple operations with the same name on introspected mbeans,
fixing a regression caused by the introduction of a second addSslHostConfig
method. (remm)
* Fix: Relax the check that the HTTP Host header is consistent with the host
used in the request line, if any, to make the check case insensitive since
host names are case insensitive. (markt)
* Add: 68348: Add support for the partitioned attribute for cookies. (markt)
Other
* Update: Update Checkstyle to 10.12.7. (markt)
* Update: Update SpotBugs to 4.8.3. (markt)

2023-12-12 Tomcat 8.5.97 (schultz)
Catalina
* Fix: Background processes should not be run concurrently with lifecycle
operations of a container. (remm)
* Fix: Correct unintended escaping of XML in some WebDAV responses. The XML
list of support locks when provided in response to a PROPFIND request was
incorrectly XML escaped. (markt)
* Fix: 68227: Ensure that AsyncListener.onComplete() is called if
AsyncListener.onError() calls AsyncContext.dispatch(). (markt)
* Fix: 68228: Use a 408 status code if a read timeout occurs during HTTP
request processing. Includes a test case based on code provided by
adwsingh. (markt)
Jasper
* Code: 68119: Refactor the CompositeELResolver to improve performance during
type conversion operations. (markt)

X509Certificate#getNotAfter(). (michaelo)
* Update: The status servlet included in the manager webapp can now output
statistics as JSON, using the JSON=true URL parameter. (remm)
* Update: Optionally allow ServiceBindingPropertySource to trim a trailing
newline from a file containing a property-value. (schultz)

authentication if the user refreshes a page during the FORM authentication
process. Based on a suggestion by Mircea Butmalai. (markt)
* Update: 67926: PEMFile prints unidentifiable string representation of ASN.1
OIDs. (michaelo)
* Fix: 66875: Ensure that setting the request attribute
jakarta.servlet.error.exception is not sufficient to trigger error handling
for the current request and response. (markt)
* Fix: 68054: Avoid some file canonicalization calls introduced by the fix
for 65433. (remm)
* Fix: 68089: Improve performance of request attribute access for
ApplicationHttpRequest and ApplicationRequest. (markt)
* Fix: Use a 400 status code to report an error due to a bad request (e.g. an
invalid trailer header) rather than a 500 status code. (markt)
* Fix: Ensure that an IOException during the reading of the request triggers
always error handling, regardless of whether the application swallows the
exception. (markt)
Coyote
* Add: 66670: Add SSLHostConfig#certificateKeyPasswordFile and SSLHostConfig#
certificateKeystorePasswordFile. (michaelo)
* Add: When calling SSLHostConfigCertificate.setCertificateKeystore(ks),

* Fix: 67628: Clarify how the ciphers attribute of the SSLHostConfig is used.
(markt)
* Fix: 67666: Ensure TLS connectors using PEM files either work with the
TLSCertificateReloadListener or, in the rare case that they do not, log a
warning on Connector start. (markt)
* Fix: 67675: Support a wider range of KDF and ciphers for PEM files than the
combinations supported by the JVM by default. Specifically, support the
OpenSSL default of HmacSHA256 and DES-EDE3-CBC. (markt)
* Fix: 67927: Reloading TLS configuration can cause the Connector to refuse
new connections or the JVM to crash. (markt)
* Fix: 67934: If both Tomcat Native 1.2.x and 2.0.x are available, prefer
1.2.x since it supports the APR/Native connector whereas 2.0.x does not.
(markt)
* Fix: 67938: Correct handling of large TLS client hello messages that were
causing the TLS handshake to fail. (markt)
* Fix: 68026: Convert selected MessageByte values to String when first

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

flow control window update that had already arrived. Any streams on that
connection that were trying to write when this happened would time out.

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
ignore empty elements as per RFC 7230 section 7 instead of treating the
presence of empty elements as an error. (markt)
* 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)
* Fix: Fix an issue where concurrent HTTP/2 writes (or concurrent reads) to
the same connection could hang and eventually timeout when async IO was
enabled (it is enabled by default). (markt)

* Fix: 65272: Restore the optional HTTP feature that allows LF to be treated
as a line terminator for the request line and/or HTTP headers lines as well
as the standard CRLF. This behaviour was previously removed as a
side-effect of the fix for CVE-2020-1935. (markt)
Jasper
* Code: Review code used to generate Java source from JSPs and tags and
remove code found to be unnecessary. (markt)
* Update: <servlet> entries in web.xml that include a <jsp-file> \
element and
a negative <load-no-startup> element that is not the default value of -1
will no longer be loaded at start-up. This makes it possible to define a
<jsp-file> that will not be loaded at start-up. (markt)
* Fix: Allow the JSP configuration option useInstanceManagerForTags to be
used with Tags that are implemented as inner classes. (markt)
WebSocket
* Code: Refactor the way Tomcat passes path parameters to POJO end points to
simplify the code. (markt)
* Fix: 65262: Refactor the creation of WebSocket end point, decoder and
encoder instances to be more IoC friendly. Instances are now created via
the InstanceManager where possible. (markt)
Web applications
* Fix: 65235: Correct name of changeLocalName in the documentation for the
RemoteIpValve. (markt)
* Fix: 65265: Avoid getting the boot classpath when it is not available in
the Manager diagnostics. (remm)
Other
* Update: Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.28.
(markt)
* Fix: Move SystemPropertySource to be a regular class to allow more precise
configuration if needed. The system property source will still always be
enabled. (remm)

* Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm)
* Add: Improvements to Korean translations. (woonsan)
2021-04-06 Tomcat 8.5.65 (markt)
Catalina
* Fix: Avoid NPE when a JNDI reference cannot be resolved in favor of a
NamingException. (remm)
* Fix: Avoid using reflection for setting properties on the webapp
classloader. Based on a patch submitted by Romain Manni-Bucau. (remm)
Coyote
* Fix: Improve consistency of OpenSSL error stack handling in the TLS engine,
and log all errors found as debug. (remm)
* Code: Re-factor the HTTP/2 implementation classes to better align with
9.0.x and 10.0.x to make maintenance simpler. (markt)
* Fix: Ensure that HTTP/2 streams are only recycled once as multiple attempts
to recycle an HTTP/2 stream may result in NullPointerExceptions. (markt)
* Code: Simplify the closing on an HTTP/2 stream when an error condition is
present. (markt)
* Fix: 64771: Prevent concurrent calls to ServletInputStream.isReady()
corrupting the input buffer. (markt)
* Fix: 65179: Ensure that the connection level flow control window from the
client to the server is updated when handling DATA frames received for
completed streams else the flow control window may become exhausted.
(markt)
* Fix: 65203: Fix a regression introduced in 8.5.64 that meant that an error
during an asynchronous read broke all future asynchronous reads associated
with the same request instance. (markt)
* Fix: Disable keep-alive when inconsistent content delimitation is present
in a request. (remm)
Other
* Add: Implement the first phase of reproducible builds. Sequential builds on
the same machine now produce identical output provided that the Ant
property ant.tstamp.now is set. The minimum required Ant version is now
1.9.10. (markt)
* Add: Improvements to Chinese translations. Provided by Ruan Wenjun. (mark)
* Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm)
* Add: Improvements to Japanese translations. Provided by kfujino and
Shirayuking. (markt)

2021-03-10 Tomcat 8.5.64 (markt)
Catalina
* Fix: Revert an incorrect fix for a potential resource leak that broke
deployment via the Ant deploy task. (markt)
* Fix: Ensure that the AsyncListener.onError() event is triggered when a I/O
error occurs during non-blocking I/O. There were some cases discovered
where this was not happening. (markt)
* Add: Make the non-blocking I/O error handling more robust by handling the
case where the application code swallows an IOException in
WriteListener.onWritePossible() and ReadListener.onDataAvailable(). (markt)
* Fix: 64938: Align the behaviour when null is passed to the ServletResponse
methods setCharacterEncoding(), setContentType() and setLocale() with the
recent clarification from the Jakarta Servlet project of the expected
behaviour in these cases. (markt)
* Code: Make the StandardContext.postWorkDirectory() protected rather than
private to help users wishing to customise the default work directory
behaviour. (markt)
Coyote
* Fix: 65118: Fix a potential NullPointerException when pruning closed HTTP/2
streams from the connection. (markt)
* Fix: Avoid NullPointerException when a secure channel is closed before the
SSL engine was initialized. (remm)
* Fix: Improve error message for failed ConfigFileLoader lookups. (remm)
* Fix: Ensure that the ReadListener's onError() event is triggered if the
client closes the connection before sending the entire request body and the
server is reading the request body using non-blocking I/O. (markt)
* Fix: 65137: Ensure that a response is not corrupted as well as incomplete
if the connection is closed before the response is fully written due to a
write timeout. (markt)
* Fix: Related to bug 65131, make sure all errors from OpenSSL are fully
cleared, as there could be more than one error present after an operation
(confirmed in the OpenSSL API documentation). (remm)
* Fix: Make handling of OpenSSL read errors more robust when plain text data
is reported to be available to read. (markt)
* Fix: Correct handling of write errors during non-blocking I/O to ensure
that the associated AsyncContext was closed down correctly. (markt)
Web applications
* Fix: 65136: Remove the restriction that prevented the Manager web
application deploying different web applications in parallel. This required
some refactoring, most notably to HostConfig.check() and how it is used.

2021-02-03 Tomcat 8.5.63 (markt)
Catalina
* Fix: 65106: Fix the ConfigFileLoader handling of file URIs when running
under a security manager on some JREs. (markt)
Coyote
* Fix: Ensure that SNI provided host names are matched to SSL virtual host
configurations in a case insensitive manner. (markt)
not released Tomcat 8.5.62 (markt)
Catalina
* Fix: 50175: Add a new attribute to the standard context implementation,
skipMemoryLeakChecksOnJvmShutdown, that allows the user to configure Tomcat
to skip the memory leak checks usually performed during web application
stop if that stop is triggered by a JVM shutdown. (markt)
* Fix: 60781: Escape elements in the access log that need to be escaped for
the access log to be parsed unambiguously. (fschumacher/markt)
* Add: 64110: Add support for additional TLS related request attributes that
provide details of the protocols and ciphers requested by a client in the
initial TLS handshake. (markt)
* Add: Let the RemoteCIDRValve inherit from RequestFilterValve and support
all of its features. Especially add support for connector specific
configuration using addConnectorPort. (rjung)
* Add: Add peerAddress to coyote request, which contains the IP address of
the direct connection peer. If a reverse proxy sits in front of Tomcat and
the protocol used is AJP or HTTP in combination with the RemoteIp(Valve|
Filter), the peer address might differ from the remoteAddress. The latter
then contains the address of the client in front of the reverse proxy, not
the address of the proxy itself. Support for the peer address has been
added to the RemoteAddrValve and RemoteCIDRValve with the new attribute
usePeerAddress. This can be used to restrict access to Tomcat based on the
reverse proxy IP address, which is especially useful to harden access to
AJP connectors. The peer address can also be logged in the access log using
the new %{peer}a syntax. (rjung)
* Fix: Avoid uncaught InaccessibleObjectException on Java 16 trying to clear
references threads. (remm)
* Fix: 65033: Fix JNDI realm error handling when connecting to a failed
server when pooling was not enabled. (remm)
* Fix: 65047: If the AccessLogValve is unable to open the access log file,
include information on the current user in the associated log message
(markt)
Coyote
* Fix: Additional fix for 64830 to address an edge case that could trigger
request corruption with h2c connections. (markt)
* Fix: 64974: Improve handling of pipelined HTTP requests in combination with
the Servlet non-blocking IO API. It was possible that some requests could
get dropped. (markt)
* Fix: 65001: Fix error handling for exceptions thrown from calls to
ReadListener and WriteListener. (markt)
* Fix: Avoid possible infinite loop in OpenSSLEngine.unwrap when the
destination buffers state is changed concurrently. (remm)
Jasper
* Add: Add a new StringInterpreter interface that allows applications to
provide customised string attribute value to type conversion within JSPs.
This allows applications to provide a conversion implementation that is
optimised for the application. (markt)
* Fix: 64965: JspContextWrapper.findAttribute should ignore expired sessions
rather than throw an IllegalStateException. (remm)
Web applications
* Fix: 65007: Clarify that the commands shown in the TLS documentation for
importing a signed TLS certificate from a certificate authority are typical
examples that may need to be adjusted in some cases. (markt)
