How to fix?

This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:0456.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat8-jsp-2.3-api package and not the tomcat8-jsp-2.3-api package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Remote code execution is possible with Apache Tomcat before 6.0.48, 7.x before 7.0.73, 8.x before 8.0.39, 8.5.x before 8.5.7, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M12 if JmxRemoteLifecycleListener is used and an attacker can reach JMX ports. The issue exists because this listener wasn't updated for consistency with the CVE-2016-3427 Oracle patch that affected credential types.
