How to fix?

There is no fixed version for tomcat:catalina.

Overview

tomcat:catalina is a library that contains Tomcat Servlet Engine Core Classes and Standard implementations.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF). It allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that manipulate application deployment via the POST method, as demonstrated by a /manager/html/undeploy?path= URI. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that the Apache Tomcat Security team has not accepted any reports of CSRF attacks against the Manager application ... as they require a reckless system administrator.
