This issue was patched in RHSA-2016:2599.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-jsp-2.2-api package and not the tomcat-jsp-2.2-api package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) Manager and (2) Host Manager applications in Apache Tomcat 7.x before 7.0.68, 8.x before 8.0.31, and 9.x before 9.0.0.M2 establish sessions and send CSRF tokens for arbitrary new requests, which allows remote attackers to bypass a CSRF protection mechanism by using a token.
