Apache Tomcat – CVE-2021-25329 Incomplete fix for CVE-2020-9484 (RCE via session persistence)
The fix for CVE-2020-9484 was incomplete. When using a highly unlikely configuration edge case, the Tomcat instance was still vulnerable to CVE-2020-9484.
Note that both the previously published prerequisites for CVE-2020-9484 also apply to this issue.
Mitigation:
Users of the affected versions should apply one of the following
mitigations:
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 10.0.2 or later
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 9.0.43 or later
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 8.5.63 or later
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 7.0.108 or later
- the the previously published non-upgrade mitigations for CVE-2020-9484
also apply to this issue
Note that issue was fixed in 10.0.1, 9.0.42 and 8.5.62 but the release
votes for those versions did not pass.
