  <description>This update for tomcat fixes the following issues:

Version update to 7.0.90:

- Another bugfix release, for full details see:
  https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/changelog.html

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2018-11784: When the default servlet in Apache Tomcat returned
  a redirect to a directory (e.g. redirecting to '/foo/' when the user
  requested '/foo') a specially crafted URL could be used to cause the
  redirect to be generated to any URI of the attackers choice. (bsc#1110850)
- CVE-2017-15706: As part of the fix for bug 61201, the documentation
  for Apache Tomcat included an updated description of the search algorithm
  used by the CGI Servlet to identify which script to execute.  The update
  was not correct. As a result, some scripts may have failed to execute as
  expected and other scripts may have been executed unexpectedly. Note that
  the behaviour of the CGI servlet has remained unchanged in this regard.
  It is only the documentation of the behaviour that was wrong and has
  been corrected.(bsc#1078677)
- CVE-2018-1304: The URL pattern of \"\" (the empty string) which exactly
  maps to the context root was not correctly handled in Apache Tomcat
  when used as part of a security constraint definition. This caused the
  constraint to be ignored. It was, therefore, possible for unauthorised
  users to gain access to web application resources that should have
  been protected.  Only security constraints with a URL pattern of the
  empty string were affected. (bsc#1082480)
- CVE-2018-1305: Security constraints defined by annotations of Servlets
  in Apache Tomcat were only applied once a Servlet had been loaded. Because
  security constraints defined in this way apply to the URL pattern and
  any URLs below that point, it was possible - depending on the order
  Servlets were loaded - for some security constraints not to be applied.
  This could have exposed resources to users who were not authorised to
  access them.(bsc#1082481)
- CVE-2018-1336: An improper handing of overflow in the UTF-8 decoder with
  supplementary characters can lead to an infinite loop in the decoder causing
  a Denial of Service. (bsc#1102400)
- CVE-2018-8014: Fixed default settings for the CORS filter, which were
  insecure and enabled 'supportsCredentials' for all origins. (bsc#1093697)
- CVE-2018-8034: Fixed the host name verification when using TLS with the
  WebSocket client, which was not enabled by default. (bsc#1102379)
