    Description

      Summary

      We are currently on 8.0.17 and have already been bitten by a bug in it:

      https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57476

      We should upgrade to the latest to get the latest bugfixes.

      Also, there have been a number of recent CVEs involving Tomcat, most of which involve SecurityManager, which I believe we do not currently use.

      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-5174
      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-0706
      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-0714
      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-0763

      However, these are related to other aspects of Tomcat:

      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-5345
      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-5346
      http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-5351 (probably doesn't affect us)

      Updating Tomcat to one of these versions would appear to patch all of the above CVEs:

      • Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M3
      • Apache Tomcat 8.0.32
      • Apache Tomcat 7.0.68
      • Apache Tomcat 6.0.45
