Fedora 27: Security Advisory for Tomcat-Native OCSP Check Bypass

Tomcat can use the Apache Portable Runtime to provide superior

scalability, performance, and better integration with native server

technologies. The Apache Portable Runtime is a highly portable library

that is at the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses,

including access to advanced IO functionality (such as sendfile, epoll

and OpenSSL), OS level functionality (random number generation, system

status, etc), and native process handling (shared memory, NT pipes and

Unix sockets). This package contains the Tomcat native library which

provides support for using APR in Tomcat.
