 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3617-2 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany October 17, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : tomcat9 Version : 9.0.31-1~deb10u10 CVE ID : CVE-2023-44487

 A regression was discovered in the Http2UpgradeHandler class of Tomcat 9 introduced by the patch to fix CVE-2023-44487 (Rapid Reset Attack). A wrong value for the overheadcount variable forced HTTP2 connections to close early.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 9.0.31-1~deb10u10.

 We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat9 packages.

 For the detailed security status of tomcat9 please refer to its security tracker page at:
