Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update includes a rebase from 8.5.30 up to 8.5.32 which resolves two CVEs along with various other bugs/features :

 - rhbz#1579612 CVE-2018-8014 tomcat: Insecure defaults in CORS filter enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins

 - rhbz#1607586 CVE-2018-8034 tomcat: host name verification missing in WebSocket client

Solution

Update the affected 1:tomcat package.
