The updated packages fix security vulnerabilities:
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. (CVE-2019-17569)
In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99
the HTTP header parsing code used an approach to end-of-line parsing that
allowed some invalid HTTP headers to be parsed as valid. This led 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.
