(bsc#1214666) * CVE-2023-44487: Fix HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack. (bsc#1216182) * Update to Tomcat 9.0.82: * Catalina * Add: 65770: Provide a lifecycle listener that will automatically reload TLS configurations a set time before the certificate is due to expire. This is intended to be used with third-party tools that regularly renew TLS certificates. * Fix: Fix handling of an error reading a context descriptor on deployment. * Fix: Fix rewrite rule qsd (query string discard) being ignored if qsa was also use, while it should instead take precedence. * Fix: 67472: Send fewer CORS-related headers when CORS is not actually being engaged. * Add: Improve handling of failures within recycle() methods. * Coyote * Fix: 67670: Fix regression with HTTP compression after code refactoring. * Fix: 67198: Ensure that the AJP connector attribute tomcatAuthorization takes precedence over the tomcatAuthentication attribute when processing an auth_type attribute received from a proxy server. * Fix: 67235: Fix a NullPointerException when an AsyncListener handles an error with a dispatch rather than a complete. * Fix: When an error occurs during asynchronous processing, ensure that the error handling process is only triggered once per asynchronous cycle. * Fix: Fix logic issue trying to match no argument method in IntropectionUtil. * Fix: Improve thread safety around readNotify and writeNotify in the NIO2 endpoint. * Fix: Avoid rare thread safety issue accessing message digest map. * Fix: Improve statistics collection for upgraded connections under load. * Fix: Align validation of HTTP trailer fields with standard fields. * Fix: Improvements to HTTP/2 overhead protection (bsc#1216182, CVE-2023-44487) * jdbc-pool * Fix: 67664: Correct a regression in the clean-up of unnecessary use of fully qualified class names in 9.0.81 that broke the jdbc-pool. * Jasper * Fix: 67080: Improve performance of EL expressions in JSPs that use implicitobjects * Update to Tomcat 9.0.80 (jsc#PED-6376, jsc#PED-6377): * Catalina: * Add RateLimitFilter which can be used to mitigate DoS and Brute Force attacks * Move the management of the utility executor from the init()/destroy() methods of components to the start()/stop() methods. * Add org.apache.catalina.core.StandardVirtualThreadExecutor, a virtual thread based executor that may be used with one or more Connectors to process requests received by those Connectors using virtual threads. This Executor requires a minimum Java version of Java 21. * Add a per session Semaphore to the PersistentValve that ensures that, within a single Tomcat instance, there is no more than one concurrent request per session. Also expand the debug logging to include whether a request bypasses the Valve and the reason if a request fails to obtain the per session Semaphore. * Ensure that the default servlet correctly escapes file names in directory listings when using XML output. * Add a numeric last modified field to the XML directory listings produced by the default servlet to enable sorting in the XSLT. * Attempts to lock a collection with WebDAV may incorrectly fail if a child collection has an expired lock. * Deprecate the xssProtectionEnabled setting from the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter and change the default value to false as support for the associated HTTP header has been removed from all major browsers. * Add org.apache.catalina.core.ContextNamingInfoListener, a listener which creates context naming information environment entries. * Add org.apache.catalina.core.PropertiesRoleMappingListener, a listener which populates the context's role mapping from a properties file. * Fix an edge case where intra-web application symlinks would be followed if the web applications were deliberately crafted to allow it even when allowLinking was set to false. * Add utility config file resource lookup on Context to allow looking up resources from the webapp (prefixed with webapp:) and make the resource lookup API more visible. *Fix potential database connection leaks in DataSourceUserDatabase identified by Coverity Scan. * Make parsing of ExtendedAccessLogValve patterns more robust. * Fix failure trying to persist configuration for an internal credential handler. * When serializing a session during the session presistence process, do not log a warning that null Principals are not serializable. * Catch NamingException in JNDIRealm#getPrincipal. It is used in Java up to 17 to signal closed connections. * Use the same naming format in log messages for Connector instances as the associated ProtocolHandler instance. * The parts count should also lower the actual maxParameterCount used for parsing parameters if parts are parsed first. * If an application or library sets both a non-500 error code and the javax.servlet.error.exception request attribute, use the provided error code during error page processing rather than assuming an error code of 500. * Update code comments and Tomcat output to use MiB for 1024 * 1024 bytes and KiB for 1024 bytes rather than MB and kB. * Coyote: * Update the HTTP/2 implementation to use the prioritization scheme defined in RFC 9218 rather than the one defined in RFC 7540. * Fix not sending WINDOW_UPDATE when dataLength is ZERO on call SwallowedDataFramePayload. * Restore the documented behaviour of MessageBytes.getType() that it returns the type of the original content rather than reflecting the most recent conversion. * Correct certificate logging on start-up so it differentiates between keystore based keys/certificates: PEM file based keys/certificates and logs the relevant information for each. * Refactor blocking reads and writes for the NIO connector to remove code paths that could allow a notification from the Poller to be missed resuting in a timeout rather than the expected read or write. * Refactor waiting for an HTTP/2 stream or connection window update to handle spurious wake-ups during the wait. * Correct a regression introduced in 9.0.78 and use the correct constant whenconstructing the default value for the certificateKeystoreFile attribute of an SSLHostConfigCertificate instance. * Refactor HTTP/2 implementation to reduce pinning when using virtual threads. * Pass through ciphers referring to an OpenSSL profile, such as PROFILE=SYSTEM instead of producing an error trying to parse it. * Ensure that AsyncListener.onError() is called after an error during asynchronous processing with HTTP/2. * When using asynchronous I/O (the default for NIO and NIO2), include DATA frames when calculating the HTTP/2 overhead count to ensure that connections are not prematurely terminated. * Correct a race condition that could cause spurious RST messages to be sent after the response had been written to an HTTP/2 stream. * WebSocket: * Expand the validation of the value of the Sec-Websocket-Key header in the HTTP upgrade request that initiates a WebSocket connection. The value is not decoded but it is checked for the correct length and that only valid characters from the base64 alphabet are used. * Improve handling of error conditions for the WebSocket server, particularly during Tomcat shutdown. * Correct a regression in the fix for 66574 that meant the WebSocket session could return false for onOpen() before the onClose() event had been completed. * Fix a NullPointerException when flushing batched messages with compression enabled using permessage-deflate. * Web applications: * Add RateLimitFilter which can be used to mitigate DoS and Brute Force attacks attribute in the configuration section for the Digest authentication value. * Documentation: Expand the security guidance to cover the embedded use case and add notes on the uses made of the java.io.tmpdir system property. * Documentation: Fix a typo in the name of the algorithms * Documentation: Update documentation to use MiB for 1024 * 1024 bytes and KiB for 1024 bytes rather than MB and kB. * jdbc-pool: * Fix the releaseIdleCounter does not increment when testAllIdle releases them. * Fix the ConnectionState state willbe inconsistent with actual state on the connection when an exception occurs while writing. * Other: * Update to Commons Daemon 1.3.4. * Improvements to French translations. * Update Checkstyle to 10.12.0. * Update the packaged version of the Apache Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.37 to pick up the Windows binaries built with with OpenSSL 1.1.1u. * Include the Windows specific binary distributions in the files uploaded to Maven Central. * Improvements to French translations. * Improvements to Japanese translations. * Update UnboundID to 6.0.9. * Update Checkstyle to 10.12.1. * Update BND to 6.4.1.66665: * Update JSign to 5.0. * Correct properties for JSign dependency. * Align documentation for maxParameterCount to match hard-coded defaults. * Update NSIS to 3.0.9. * Update Checkstyle to 10.12.2. * Improvements to French translations. * Improvements to Japanese translations. * Fix quoting so users can use the _RUNJAVA environment variable as intended on Windows when the path to the Java executable contains spaces. * Update Tomcat Native to 1.2.38 to pick up Windows binaries built with OpenSSL 1.1.1v. * Improvements to Chinese translations. * Improvements to French translations. * Improvements to Japanese translations ## Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".
