How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 pki-deps:10.6/pki-servlet-4.0-api.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pki-deps:10.6/pki-servlet-4.0-api package and not the pki-deps:10.6/pki-servlet-4.0-api package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

When Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.28, 8.5.0 to 8.5.47, 7.0.0 and 7.0.97 is configured with the JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener, a local attacker without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance.
