Upgrade org.apache.tomcat:tomcat to version 10.0.7, 9.0.48, 8.5.68 or higher.
Overview
org.apache.tomcat:tomcat is an implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket technologies.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. Tomcat does not correctly parse the HTTP transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances, leading to the possibility of request smuggling when used with a reverse proxy.
Specifically, Tomcat incorrectly ignores the transfer encoding header if the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; it honours the identify encoding; and it does not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
