NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-servlet-4_0-api package and not the tomcat-servlet-4_0-api package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability into Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M8, 10.0.0-M5 to 10.0.14, 9.0.35 to 9.0.56 and 8.5.55 to 8.5.73 that allowed a local attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore.
