tomcat9 (9.0.16-3~18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Don't set nologin shell in sysusers.d/tomcat9.conf

  * New upstream release

    - Updated the README file
  * Removed the SysV init script

    /etc/default/tomcat9
  * No longer add the 'common', 'server' and 'shared' directories under
    CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE to the classpath. Extra jar files should go
    to the 'lib' directory.

  * Prevent Tomcat from writing outside of /var/log/tomcat9, /var/cache/tomcat9,
    /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps and /etc/tomcat9/Catalina by default. This can be
    overridden (see the README file).
  * Build and install the extra jar catalina-ws.jar
  * No longer recommend libcommons-pool-java and libcommons-dbcp-java since
    Tomcat already embeds its own version of these libraries
  * Support three-way merge when upgrading the configuration files
  * Use the G1 garbage collector by default instead of Concurrent Mark Sweep
  * The setenv.sh script in tomcat9-user and the service startup script now
    share the same JDK detection logic

tomcat8 (8.5.11-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Fix the following security vulnerabilities (Closes: #860068):
    Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso for the report.
   - CVE-2017-5647:
     A bug in the handling of the pipelined requests when send file was used
     resulted in the pipelined request being lost when send file processing of
     the previous request completed. This could result in responses appearing
     to be sent for the wrong request. For example, a user agent that sent
     requests A, B and C could see the correct response for request A, the
     response for request C for request B and no response for request C.
   - CVE-2017-5648:
     It was noticed that some calls to application listeners did not use the
     appropriate facade object. When running an untrusted application under a
     SecurityManager, it was therefore possible for that untrusted application
     to retain a reference to the request or response object and thereby access
     and/or modify information associated with another web application.
   - CVE-2017-5650:
     The handling of an HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame for a connection did not close
     streams associated with that connection that were currently waiting for a
     WINDOW_UPDATE before allowing the application to write more data. These
     waiting streams each consumed a thread. A malicious client could therefore
     construct a series of HTTP/2 requests that would consume all available
     processing threads.
   - CVE-2017-5651:
     The refactoring of the HTTP connectors for 8.5.x onwards, introduced a
     regression in the send file processing. If the send file processing
     completed quickly, it was possible for the Processor to be added to the
     processor cache twice. This could result in the same Processor being used
     for multiple requests which in turn could lead to unexpected errors and/or
     response mix-up.

    in /usr/share/java with the specifications versions

    /usr/share/maven-repo.
  * Added the EL and WebSocket APIs to libservlet3.1-java-doc
  * Added a Lintian override for the incompatible-java-bytecode-format warning
    since Tomcat requires Java 7

    on the tomcat-i18n jars instead of a patch turning them into zip files.
  * Removed 0011-fix-classpath-lintian-warnings.patch and specified
    the classpath of jasper.jar in libtomcat8-java.manifest instead.

  [ tony mancill ]
  * Include tomcat-util-scan.jar in the libtomcat8-java package.
  * Remove debian/NEWS (inapplicable to this release).
