Affected packages

• Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 9.0.0.M1, < 9.0.0.M22 → fixed in 9.0.0.M22 • Maven org.apache.tomcat:tomcat: >= 8.5.0, < 8.5.16 → fixed in 8.5.16

Description

The HTTP/2 implementation in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M21 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.15 bypassed a number of security checks that prevented directory traversal attacks. It was therefore possible to bypass security constraints using a specially crafted URL.
