Apache Tomcat: Failure during request clean-up leads to sensitive data leaking to subsequent requests

Published Oct 10, 2023 · Updated Oct 29, 2025 · Assigned by apache

Description

Incomplete Cleanup vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.When recycling various internal objects in Apache Tomcat from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M11, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.13, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.80 and from 8.5.0 through 8.5.93, an error could
cause Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process leading to
information leaking from the current request/response to the next.
Older, EOL versions may also be affected.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M12 onwards, 10.1.14 onwards, 9.0.81 onwards or 8.5.94 onwards, which fixes the issue.
