This issue was patched in ELSA-2019-2205.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-servlet-3.0-api package and not the tomcat-servlet-3.0-api package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The URL pattern of "" (the empty string) which exactly maps to the context root was not correctly handled in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.84 when used as part of a security constraint definition. This caused the constraint to be ignored. It was, therefore, possible for unauthorised users to gain access to web application resources that should have been protected. Only security constraints with a URL pattern of the empty string were affected.
