NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-native package and not the tomcat-native package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

When using an OCSP responder Apache Tomcat Native 1.2.0 to 1.2.16 and 1.1.23 to 1.1.34 did not correctly handle invalid responses. This allowed for revoked client certificates to be incorrectly identified. It was therefore possible for users to authenticate with revoked certificates when using mutual TLS. Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.
