 Package : tomcat9 Version : 9.0.31-1~deb10u11 CVE ID : CVE-2023-46589 Debian Bug : 1057082

 Apache Tomcat 9, a Servlet and JSP engine, was vulnerable.

 An Improper Input Validation vulnerability was present.
 and Tomcat did not correctly parse HTTP trailer headers.
 A trailer header that exceeded the header size limit could cause Tomcat to treat a single request as multiple requests leading to the possibility of request smuggling when behind a reverse proxy.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 9.0.31-1~deb10u11.

 We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat9 packages.
