Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an issue in Apache Tomcat 8, the Java application server. An excessive number of concurrent streams could have resulted in users seeing responses for unexpected resources.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version 8.5.54-0+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat8 packages.

For the detailed security status of tomcat8 please refer to its security tracker page at:
