Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Tomcat.

Software Description:

Details:

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled digest
authentication. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
bypass authentication restrictions. (CVE-2026-43512)

in LockOutRealm. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to

multiple method constraints defined the same HTTP method. A remote
attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authorization
