      Issue Summary

      The recently disclosed vulnerability regarding Apache Tomcat

      • CVE-2021-33037, CVE-2021-33037 (Base Score: 5.3 MEDIUM)
      • CVE-2021-42340 (NVD score not yet provided.)

        The fix for bug 63362 introduced a memory leak. The object introduced to collect metrics for HTTP upgrade connections was not released for WebSocket connections once the WebSocket connection was closed. This created a memory leak that, over time, could lead to a denial of service via an OutOfMemoryError.

      affects the following versions:

      • Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6
      • Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.53
      • Apache Tomcat 8.5.60 to 8.5.71

      We should bundle a more recent version of Tomcat so that Jira is not affected by this in the future.
      Current bundled version of Tomcat 8.5.68
