If you do not see the updated CVE information, please visit Apache Tomcat's Security pages for more detailed information about the CVE.

Here are the links to Apache Tomcat security and vulnerability details per release:

Known Issues

Issue Number Description
N/A On upgrade to tc Runtime 8.5, any previous instances with cluster setup, GemFire HTTP session manager, Redis HTTP session manager, and Spring Insight will need to be recreated using the new templates.
N/A The default OpenJDK build of Java 9 on Ubuntu is a non-GA version and will cause issues when running tc Server. Upgrade to a GA version of OpenJDK to resolve the issues.
N/A As of tc Runtime versions 7.0.100 and 8.5.51 the AJP connector attributes have changed. Unmodified server.xml files may result in the following message in the catalina.log Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The AJP Connector is configured with secretRequired="true" but the secret attribute is either null or "". This combination is not valid. Please see https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/ajp.html for how to update the configuration. The ajp template in VMware tc Server 3.2.20+ default value for secretRequired is false. AJP Template documentation

tc Server Versioning

The tc Runtime version refers to the corresponding Apache Tomcat release. A letter is added to indicate whether additional patches not yet released by the Apache Software Foundation are applied.

For example:

  • tc Runtime 7.0.70.A.RELEASE is equivalent to Apache Tomcat 7.0.70.

  • tc Runtime 7.0.70.B.RELEASE is equivalent to Apache Tomcat 7.0.70 plus important bug fixes, enhancements, or security fixes. The letter could also refer to a pre-release of Apache Tomcat 7.0.71.
