apache tomcat UPGRADE

Affected: >= 9.0.13 and < 9.0.117 · >= 10.1.0 and < 10.1.54 · >= 11.0.0 and < 11.0.21

Fixed in: 9.0.117, 10.1.54, 11.0.21

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.0.13

apt-cache policy tomcat || rpm -q tomcat || tomcat --version

2. UPGRADE to 9.0.117 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade tomcat

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade tomcat

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 9.0.13 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison tomcat sudo apt install tomcat=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.0.13> sudo apt-mark hold tomcat

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list tomcat sudo dnf downgrade tomcat-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.0.13> sudo dnf versionlock add tomcat

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
