Comment 1 David GEIGER 2019-12-29 07:01:05 CET 
Hmmm it fails to build on both Cauldron and mga7, related to current java-1.8.0-openjdk?

Comment 5 Nicolas Salguero 2020-01-21 11:15:54 CET 
Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix security vulnerabilities:

When Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.28, 8.5.0 to 8.5.47, 7.0.0 and 7.0.97 is configured with the JMX Remote Lifecycle Listener, a local attacker without access to the Tomcat process or configuration files is able to manipulate the RMI registry to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to capture user names and passwords used to access the JMX interface. The attacker can then use these credentials to access the JMX interface and gain complete control over the Tomcat instance. (CVE-2019-12418)

When using FORM authentication with Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.29, 8.5.0 to 8.5.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.98 there was a narrow window where an attacker could perform a session fixation attack. The window was considered too narrow for an exploit to be practical but, erring on the side of caution, this issue has been treated as a security vulnerability. (CVE-2019-17563)
