Hi Rhea,
but gladly this isn't plain 9.0.31.
There was a similar bug request [1] which got resolved a while ago in
[2] and I think has solved all those security issues in the 9.0.31
version that is in Focal.

On the other side there is the SRU policy [3] which prevents too big
version jumps unless there is extra focus on stability and testing
which needs further effort and dedication which for tomcat9 being only
in universe isn't provided by anyone at the moment.
