Red Hat Security Advisory: tomcat security update
This advisory addresses two security vulnerabilities in Apache Tomcat as packaged by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. The first vulnerability (CVE-2024-50379) involves a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) issue in JSP compilation that could lead to remote code execution (RCE). The second vulnerability (CVE-2025-24813) involves potential remote code execution, information disclosure, or information corruption via partial HTTP PUT requests. Red Hat has released updated Tomcat packages to remediate these issues. The update is rated with moderate severity by Red Hat Product Security.
