NVD Description

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

When the default servlet in Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.11, 8.5.0 to 8.5.33 and 7.0.23 to 7.0.90 returned a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to '/foo/' when the user requested '/foo') a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice.
