Details

Other updates and bugfixes:

  • Tomcat 9.0.120:
    • Catalina
      • Fix: Avoid a race condition with concurrent lookups for a singleton JNDI resource. (markt)
      • Fix: Improve the performance of range validation for the default servlet. (markt)
      • Fix: Avoid NPE in RewriteValve. (markt)
      • Fix: 70127: Fix use of Bootstrap through reflection by restoring the public constructor. Use through scripts was not affected. (remm)
      • Fix: Restore ability to extend many element classes from AbstractAccessLogValve. (remm)
      • Fix: Align DIGEST authentication with RFC 7616 and require clients to provide a valid qop parameter. (markt)
      • Fix: Use Files API to create temporary docBase when antiLockingDocBase is enabled. (markt)
      • Fix: Improve validation of configuration when DataSourceRealm starts. (remm)
      • Fix: JAASRealm should do a logout if login does not fail outright but does not produce a Principal. (remm)
      • Fix: Various edge cases for SSI substitutions, quoting and escaping.
      • Fix: unintentional conversion of literal + to a space during rule processing in the RewriteValve. (markt)
    • Coyote
      • Fix: Avoid a potential JVM crash if a suitable version of Tomcat Native is not available when the connector is explicitly configured to use Tomcat Native with OpenSSL for TLS. (markt)
      • Fix: Correct a regression introduced in 9.0.119 that broke reading of some request bodies via a Reader. (markt)
    • Jasper
      • Fix: 70120: The fix for 69399 (itself a fix for a regression in the fix for 69333) was incomplete and tags that threw exceptions in doStartTag() and doEndTag() were incorrectly re-used. This fix prevents tags from being re-used if such an exception occurs. (markt)
      • Fix: 70135: Fix security classload regression. (remm)
      • Add: support for specifying Java 28 (with the value 28) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will be used. (markt)
    • WebSocket
      • Fix: 70126: Fix WebSocket extension permessage-deflate so that it does not drop bytes if a compressed message inflates to more than the available buffer. Fix written by GPT-5.5. Test case written by Hironori Ichimiya. (markt)
