AI-suggested

Red Hat recommends disabling DIGEST authentication in Apache Tomcat if it is not essential to your environment. This involves modifying the server's authentication configuration to use alternative methods and restarting the service. The advisory includes updated RPM packages for tomcat10, which should be applied to incorporate the fixes and enhancements. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed; check the vendor advisory for the latest remediation guidance. No urgent action is required if DIGEST authentication is not used.

This update includes the following RPMs: tomcat10: * tomcat10-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-admin-webapps-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-common-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-docs-webapp-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-el-5.0-api-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-jsp-3.1-api-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-lib-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-servlet-6.0-api-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-user-instance-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-webapps-10.1.55-1.hum1 (noarch) * tomcat10-10.1.55-1.hum1.src (src)
