The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat 8.5.61.
Apache Tomcat 8 is an open source software implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Unified Expression Language, Java WebSocket and Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers technologies. Apache Tomcat 8.5.x replaces 8.0.x and includes new features pulled forward from the 9.0.x branch. The notable changes since 8.5.60 include: - Align the behaviour of ServletContext.getRealPath(String path) with the recent clarification from the Servlet specification project. If the path parameter does not start with / then Tomcat processes the call as if / is appended to the beginning of the provided path. - Fix a potential file descriptor leak when WebSocket connections are attempted and fail. Patch provided by Maurizio Adami. - Ensure that the LoadBalancerDrainingValve uses the correct setting for the secure attribute for any session cookies it creates. Based on a pull request by Andreas Kurth.
