NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jws5-tomcat-webapps package and not the jws5-tomcat-webapps package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

When responding to new h2c connection requests, Apache Tomcat versions 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.41 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.61 could duplicate request headers and a limited amount of request body from one request to another meaning user A and user B could both see the results of user A's request.
