Hello,
I am working to backport the fix for CVE-2023-46589 to Tomcat version
8.0.14, which is what we have in Debian "jessie". This is under the
Extended LTS project for older Debian releases, run by Freexian SARL.
<https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/>
I am having a problem backporting this hunk of the fix:

}
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The problem is that coyoteRequest does not have a setError method.
I believe that this is because Tomcat 8.0.14 is earlier than commit
662f9f4f0f. I have not been able to determine whether this is
important. Can I skip the setError() call, or do I need to call it some
other way?
Many thanks.
