Overview

org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-coyote is a Tomcat Connectors and HTTP parser.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Resource Shutdown or Release.

This could result in subsequent connections using the same object concurrently which could result in data being returned to the wrong use and/or other errors.
