Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in Apache Tomcat that allows for
the disclosure of sensitive information.

Background
==========

Apache Tomcat is a Servlet-3.0/JSP-2.2 Container.

Affected packages
=================

     -------------------------------------------------------------------
      Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
     -------------------------------------------------------------------
   1  www-servers/tomcat         < 8.5.60:8.5            >= 8.5.60:8.5
                                  < 9.0.40:9               >= 9.0.40:9

Description
===========

It was discovered that Apache Tomcat could re-use an HTTP request
header value from the previous stream received on an HTTP/2 connection
for the request associated with the subsequent stream.

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by sending well-timed HTTP/2 requests, could
possibly obtain sensitive information.

Workaround
==========

Disable HTTP/2 support.

Resolution
==========

All Apache Tomcat 8.5.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

   # emerge --sync
   # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
 ">=www-servers/tomcat-8.5.60:8.5"

All Apache Tomcat 9.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

   # emerge --sync
   # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
 ">=www-servers/tomcat-9.0.40:9"
