SUSE-SU-2023:4129-1

This update for tomcat fixes the following issues:

Tomcat was updated to version 9.0.82 (jsc#PED-6376, jsc#PED-6377):

• Security issues fixed:

  • CVE-2023-41080: Avoid protocol relative redirects in FORM authentication. (bsc#1214666)
  • CVE-2023-44487: Fix HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack. (bsc#1216182)

• Update to Tomcat 9.0.82:

  • Catalina

    • Add: 65770: Provide a lifecycle listener that will automatically reload TLS configurations a set time before the certificate is due to expire. This is intended to be used with third-party tools that regularly renew TLS certificates.
    • Fix: Fix handling of an error reading a context descriptor on deployment.
    • Fix: Fix rewrite rule qsd (query string discard) being ignored if qsa was also use, while it should instead take precedence.
    • Fix: 67472: Send fewer CORS-related headers when CORS is not actually being engaged.
    • Add: Improve handling of failures within recycle() methods.

  • Coyote

    • Fix: 67670: Fix regression with HTTP compression after code refactoring.
    • Fix: 67198: Ensure that the AJP connector attribute tomcatAuthorization takes precedence over the tomcatAuthentication attribute when processing an auth_type attribute received from a proxy server.
    • Fix: 67235: Fix a NullPointerException when an AsyncListener handles an error with a dispatch rather than a complete.
    • Fix: When an error occurs during asynchronous processing, ensure that the error handling process is only triggered once per asynchronous cycle.
    • Fix: Fix logic issue trying to match no argument method in IntropectionUtil.
    • Fix: Improve thread safety around readNotify and writeNotify in the NIO2 endpoint.
    • Fix: Avoid rare thread safety issue accessing message digest map.
    • Fix: Improve statistics collection for upgraded connections under load.
    • Fix: Align validation of HTTP trailer fields with standard fields.
    • Fix: Improvements to HTTP/2 overhead protection (bsc#1216182, CVE-2023-44487)

  • jdbc-pool

    • Fix: 67664: Correct a regression in the clean-up of unnecessary use of fully qualified class names in 9.0.81 that broke the jdbc-pool.

  • Jasper

    • Fix: 67080: Improve performance of EL expressions in JSPs that use implicit objects

• Update to Tomcat 9.0.80 (jsc#PED-6376, jsc#PED-6377):

  • Catalina:

    • Add RateLimitFilter which can be used to mitigate DoS and Brute Force attacks
    • Move the management of the utility executor from the init()/destroy() methods of components to the start()/stop() methods.
    • Add org.apache.catalina.core.StandardVirtualThreadExecutor, a virtual thread based executor that may be used with one or more Connectors to process requests received by those Connectors using virtual threads. This Executor requires a minimum Java version of Java 21.
    • Add a per session Semaphore to the PersistentValve that ensures that, within a single Tomcat instance, there is no more than one concurrent request per session. Also expand the debug logging to include whether a request bypasses the Valve and the reason if a request fails to obtain the per session Semaphore.
    • Ensure that the default servlet correctly escapes file names in directory listings when using XML output.
    • Add a numeric last modified field to the XML directory listings produced by the default servlet to enable sorting in the XSLT.
    • Attempts to lock a collection with WebDAV may incorrectly fail if a child collection has an expired lock.
    • Deprecate the xssProtectionEnabled setting from the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter and change the default value to false as support for the associated HTTP header has been removed from all major browsers.
    • Add org.apache.catalina.core.ContextNamingInfoListener, a listener which creates context naming information environment entries.
    • Add org.apache.catalina.core.PropertiesRoleMappingListener, a listener which populates the context's role mapping from a properties file.
    • Fix an edge case where intra-web application symlinks would be followed if the web applications were deliberately crafted to allow it even when allowLinking was set to false.
    • Add utility config file resource lookup on Context to allow looking up resources from the webapp (prefixed with webapp:) and make the resource lookup API more visible.
    • Fix potential database connection leaks in DataSourceUserDatabase identified by Coverity Scan.
    • Make parsing of ExtendedAccessLogValve patterns more robust.
    • Fix failure trying to persist configuration for an internal credential handler.
    • When serializing a session during the session presistence process, do not log a warning that null Principals are not serializable.
    • Catch NamingException in JNDIRealm#getPrincipal. It is used in Java up to 17 to signal closed connections.
    • Use the same naming format in log messages for Connector instances as the associated ProtocolHandler instance.
    • The parts count should also lower the actual maxParameterCount used for parsing parameters if parts are parsed first.
    • If an application or library sets both a non-500 error code and the javax.servlet.error.exception request attribute, use the provided error code during error page processing rather than assuming an error code of 500.
    • Update code comments and Tomcat output to use MiB for 1024 * 1024 bytes and KiB for 1024 bytes rather than MB and kB.

  • Coyote:

    • Update the HTTP/2 implementation to use the prioritization scheme defined in RFC 9218 rather than the one defined in RFC 7540.
    • Fix not sending WINDOW_UPDATE when dataLength is ZERO on call SwallowedDataFramePayload.
    • Restore the documented behaviour of MessageBytes.getType() that it returns the type of the original content rather than reflecting the most recent conversion.
    • Correct certificate logging on start-up so it differentiates between keystore based keys/certificates: PEM file based keys/certificates and logs the relevant information for each.
    • Refactor blocking reads and writes for the NIO connector to remove code paths that could allow a notification from the Poller to be missed resuting in a timeout rather than the expected read or write.
    • Refactor waiting for an HTTP/2 stream or connection window update to handle spurious wake-ups during the wait.
    • Correct a regression introduced in 9.0.78 and use the correct constant when constructing the default value for the certificateKeystoreFile attribute of an SSLHostConfigCertificate instance.
    • Refactor HTTP/2 implementation to reduce pinning when using virtual threads.
    • Pass through ciphers referring to an OpenSSL profile, such as PROFILE=SYSTEM instead of producing an error trying to parse it.
    • Ensure that AsyncListener.onError() is called after an error during asynchronous processing with HTTP/2.
    • When using asynchronous I/O (the default for NIO and NIO2), include DATA frames when calculating the HTTP/2 overhead count to ensure that connections are not prematurely terminated.
    • Correct a race condition that could cause spurious RST messages to be sent after the response had been written to an HTTP/2 stream.

  • WebSocket:

    • Expand the validation of the value of the Sec-Websocket-Key header in the HTTP upgrade request that initiates a WebSocket connection. The value is not decoded but it is checked for the correct length and that only valid characters from the base64 alphabet are used.
    • Improve handling of error conditions for the WebSocket server, particularly during Tomcat shutdown.
    • Correct a regression in the fix for 66574 that meant the WebSocket session could return false for onOpen() before the onClose() event had been completed.
    • Fix a NullPointerException when flushing batched messages with compression enabled using permessage-deflate.

  • Web applications:

    • Add RateLimitFilter which can be used to mitigate DoS and Brute Force attacks attribute in the configuration section for the Digest authentication value.
    • Documentation: Expand the security guidance to cover the embedded use case and add notes on the uses made of the java.io.tmpdir system property.
    • Documentation: Fix a typo in the name of the algorithms
    • Documentation: Update documentation to use MiB for 1024 * 1024 bytes and KiB for 1024 bytes rather than MB and kB.

  • jdbc-pool:

    • Fix the releaseIdleCounter does not increment when testAllIdle releases them.
    • Fix the ConnectionState state will be inconsistent with actual state on the connection when an exception occurs while writing.
