Summary

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat
servlet and JSP engine.

CVE-2023-46589

Tomcat 9 did not correctly parse HTTP trailer headers. A trailer header

request as multiple requests leading to the possibility of request
smuggling when behind a reverse proxy.

CVE-2024-24549

CVE-2024-23672
