How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 tomcat-lib to version 9.0.31-3.42.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-lib package and not the tomcat-lib package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The refactoring present in Apache Tomcat 9.0.28 to 9.0.30, 8.5.48 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.98 to 7.0.99 introduced a regression. The result of the regression was that invalid Transfer-Encoding headers were incorrectly processed leading to a possibility of HTTP Request Smuggling if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that incorrectly handled the invalid Transfer-Encoding header in a particular manner. Such a reverse proxy is considered unlikely.
