Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.8
Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.31

Apache Tomcat 7.0.41 to 7.0.88

Description:

appropriately for their environment rather than using it in the default
configuration. Therefore, it is expected that most users will not be
impacted by this issue.

mitigations.
- Configure the filter appropriately for your environment

Secure defaults will be provided in the following versions:
