Apache Tomcat 8 (8.5.69)

Catalina

Refactor the RemoteIpValve to use the common utility method for list to comma separated string conversion. (markt)
Fix serialization warnings in UserDatabasePrincipal reported by SpotBugs. (markt)
65397: Calls to ServletContext.getResourcePaths() no longer include symbolic links in the results unless allowLinking has been set to true. If a resource is skipped because of this change, a warning will be logged as this typically indicates a configuration issue. (markt)

Coyote

65368: Improve handling of clean closes of inbound TLS connections. Treat them the same way as clean closes of non-TLS connections rather than as unknown errors. (markt)
Modify the HTTP/2 connector not to sent small updates for stream flow control windows to the user agent as, depending on how the user agent is written, this may trigger small writes from the user agent that in turn trigger the overhead protection. Small updates for stream flow control windows are now combined with subsequent flow control window updates for that stream to ensure that all stream flow control window updates sent from Tomcat are larger than overheadWindowUpdateThreshold. (markt)
Add additional debug logging to track the current state of the HTTP/2 overhead count that Tomcat uses to detect and close potentially malicious connections. (markt)
Many HTTP/2 requests from browsers will trigger one overhead frame and one non-overhead frame. Change the overhead calculation so that a non-overhead frame reduces the current overhead count by 2 rather than 1. This means that, over time, the overhead count for a well-behaved connection will trend downwards. (markt)
Change the initial HTTP/2 overhead count from -10 to -10 * overheadCountFactor. This means that, regardless of the value chosen for overheadCountFactor, when a connection opens 10 overhead frames in a row will be required to trigger the overhead protection. (markt)
Increase the default overheadCountFactor from 1 to 10 and change the reduction in overhead count for a non-overhead frame from -2 to -20. This allows for a larger range (0-20) to be used for overheadCountFactor providing for finer-grained control. (markt)
Modify the parsing of HTTP header values that use the 1#token to ignore empty elements as per RFC 7230 section 7 instead of treating the presence of empty elements as an error. (markt)
Expand the unit tests for HttpServlet.doHead() and correct the flushing of the response buffer. The buffer used to behave as if it was one byte smaller than the configured size. The buffer was flushed (and the response committed if required) when the buffer was full. The buffer is now flushed (and the response committed if required) if the buffer is full and there is more data to write. (markt)
Fix an issue where concurrent HTTP/2 writes (or concurrent reads) to the same connection could hang and eventually timeout when async IO was enabled (it is enabled by default). (markt)

Jasper

65390: Correct a regression in the fix for 65124 and restore code that was removed in error leading to JSP compilation failures in some circumstances. (markt)
Add support for specifying Java 17 (with the value 17) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the latest supported version will used. (markt)
65377: Update the Java code generation for JSPs not to use the boxed primitive constructors as they have been deprecated in Java 9 and marked for future removal in Java 16. valueOf() is now used instead. (markt)

WebSocket

Refactor the DigestAuthenticator to reuse a shared SecureRandom instance rather than create a new one to generate the cnonce if required. (markt)

Correct parsing of HTTP headers consisting of a list of tokens so that a header with an empty token is treated consistently regardless of whether the empty token is at the start, middle or end of the list of tokens. (markt)
Remove support for the identity transfer encoding. The inclusion of this encoding in RFC 2616 was an error that was corrected in 2001. Requests using this transfer encoding will now receive a 501 response. (markt)
Process transfer encoding headers from both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 clients. (markt)

Ensure that all HTTP requests that contain an invalid character in the protocol component of the request line are rejected with a 400 response rather than some requests being rejected with a 505 response. (markt)
When generating the error message for an HTTP request with an invalid request line, ensure that all the available data is included in the error message. (markt)
65272: Restore the optional HTTP feature that allows LF to be treated as a line terminator for the request line and/or HTTP headers lines as well as the standard CRLF. This behaviour was previously removed as a side-effect of the fix for CVE-2020-1935. (markt)

Let the RemoteCIDRValve inherit from RequestFilterValve and support all of its features. Especially add support for connector specific configuration using addConnectorPort. (rjung)
Add peerAddress to coyote request, which contains the IP address of the direct connection peer. If a reverse proxy sits in front of Tomcat and the protocol used is AJP or HTTP in combination with the RemoteIp(Valve|Filter), the peer address might differ from the remoteAddress. The latter then contains the address of the client in front of the reverse proxy, not the address of the proxy itself. Support for the peer address has been added to the RemoteAddrValve and RemoteCIDRValve with the new attribute usePeerAddress. This can be used to restrict access to Tomcat based on the reverse proxy IP address, which is especially useful to harden access to AJP connectors. The peer address can also be logged in the access log using the new %{peer}a syntax. (rjung)

Catalina

Review those places where Tomcat re-encodes a URI or URI component and ensure that the correct encoding (path differs from query string) is applied and that the encoding is applied consistently. (markt)
Avoid a NullPointerException when reading attributes for a initialised HTTP connector where TLS is enabled. (markt)
Always quote the hostName of an SSLHostConfig element when using it as part of the JMX object name to avoid errors that prevent the associated TLS connector from starting if a wild card hostName is configured (because * is a reserved character for JMX object names). (markt)
Switch to using Charset rather than String to store encoding settings (including for configuration and for the Content-Type header) to reduce the number of places the associated Charset needs to be looked up. (markt)
Use a more reliable mechanism for the DefaultServlet when determining if the current request is for custom error page or not. (markt)

Rather than implementing this by blocking the non-container thread, extend the internal state machine to track this. This removes the possibility that blocking the non-container thread could trigger a deadlock. (markt)

58635: Enable break points to be set within agent code when running Tomcat with a Java agent. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
Fixed potential NPE in HostConfig while deploying an application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg)
58655: Fix an IllegalStateException when calling HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() with the RemoteIpFilter. This was caused by trying to correctly generate the absolute URI for the redirect. With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the sendRedirect() implementation for the RemoteIpFilter much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)
58657: Exceptions in a Servlet 3.1 ReadListener or WriteListener do not need to be immediately fatal to the connection. Allow an error response to be written. (markt)
Correct implementation of validateClientProvidedNewSessionId so client provided session IDs may be rejected if validation is enabled. (markt)
58701: Reset the instanceInitialized field in StandardWrapper when unloading a Servlet so that a new instance may be correctly initialized. (markt)
Add a new flag aprPreferred to the Apr listener. if set to false, when using the connector defaults, it will use NIO + OpenSSL if tomcat-native is available, rather than the APR connector. (remm)
Add path parameter handling to HttpServletRequest.getContextPath(). This is a follow-up to the fix for 57215. (markt)
58692: Make StandardJarScanner more robust. Log a warning if a class path entry cannot be scanned rather than triggering the failure of the web application. Includes a test case written by Derek Abdine. (markt)
58702: Ensure an access log entry is generated if the client aborts the connection. (markt)
Fixed various issues reported by Findbugs. (violetagg)
58735: Add support for the X-XSS-Protection header to the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter. Patch provided by Jacopo Cappellato. (markt)
Add the StatusManagerServlet to the list of Servlets that can only be loaded by privileged applications. (markt)
Simplify code and fix messages in org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager class. (kkolinko)
58751: Correctly handle the case where an AsyncListener dispatches to a Servlet on an asynchronous timeout and the Servlet uses sendError() to trigger an error page. Includes a test case based on code provided by Andy Wilkinson.(markt)
Ensure that the proper file encoding, if specified, will be used when a readme file is served by DefaultServlet. (violetagg)
Fix declaration of localPort attribute of Connector MBean: it is read-only. (kkolinko)
58766: Make skipping non-class files during annotation scanning faster by checking the file name first. Improve debug logging. (kkolinko)
58768: Log a warning if a redirect fails because of an invalid location. (markt)
58827: Remove remains of JSR-77 implementation. (markt)
58836: Correctly merge query string parameters when processing a forwarded request where the target includes a query string that contains a parameter with no value. (markt/kkolinko)
Make sure that shared Digester is reset in an unlikely error case in HostConfig.deployWAR(). (kkolinko)
Extend the feature available in the cluster session manager implementations that enables session attribute replication to be filtered based on attribute name to all session manager implementations. Note that configuration attribute name has changed from sessionAttributeFilter to sessionAttributeNameFilter. Apply the filter on load as well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt)
Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering based on the implementation class of the value and optional WARN level logging if an attribute is filtered. These options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship with Tomcat. When a SecurityManager is used filtering will be enabled by default. (markt)
Remove distributable and maxInactiveInterval from the Manager interface because the attributes are never used. The equivalent attributes from the Context always take precedence. (markt)
58867: Improve checking on Host start for WAR files that have been modified while Tomcat has stopped and re-expand them if unpackWARs is true. (markt)
58900: Correctly undeploy symlinked resources and prevent an infinite cycle of deploy / undeploy. (markt)
Protect initialization of ResourceLinkFactory when running with a SecurityManager. (kkolinko)
Correct a thread safety issue in the filtering of session attributes based on the implementing class name of the value object. (markt)
Fix class loader decision on the delegation for class loading and resource lookup and make it faster too. (rjung)
58905: Ensure that Tomcat.silence() silences the correct logger and respects the current setting. (markt)
58946: Ensure that the request parameter map remains immutable when processing via a RequestDispatcher. (markt)
Ensure that /WEB-INF/classes is never processed as a web fragment. (markt)
Switch default connector when native is installed. Unless configured otherwise, the NIO endpoint will be used by default. If SSL is configured, OpenSSL will be used rather than JSSE. (remm)
Correct a regression in the fix for 58867. When configuring a Context to use an external directory for the docBase, and that directory happens to be located along side the original WAR, use the directory as the docBase rather than expanding the WAR into the appBase and using the newly created expanded directory as the docBase. (markt)
58988: Special characters in the substitutions for the RewriteValve can now be quoted with a backslash. (fschumacher)
58999: Fix class and resource name filtering in WebappClassLoader. It throws a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if the name is exactly "org" or "javax". (rjung)
Add JASPIC (JSR-196) support. (markt)
Make checking for var and map replacement in RewriteValve a bit stricter and correct detection of colon in var replacement. (fschumacher)
Refactor the web application class loader to reduce the impact of JAR scanning on the memory footprint of the web application. (markt)
Fix some resource leaks in the error handling for accessing files from JARs and WARs. (markt)
Refactor the JAR and JAR-in-WAR resource handling to reduce the memory footprint of the web application. (markt)
Refactor the web.xml parsing so a new parser is created every time the web application starts rather than creating and caching the parser when the Context is created. This enables the parser to take account of modified Context configuration parameters and reduces (slightly) the memory footprint of a running Tomcat instance. (markt)
Switch the web application class loader to the ParallelWebappClassLoader by default. (markt)
57809: Remove the custom context attribute that held the effective web.xml. Components needing access to configuration information may access it via the Servlet API. (markt)
Refactor JAR scanning to reduce memory footprint. (markt)
59001: Correctly handle the case when Tomcat is installed on a path where one of the segments ends in an exclamation mark. (markt)
Expand the fix for 59001 to cover the special sequences used in Tomcat's custom jar:war: URLs. (markt)
59043: Avoid warning while expiring sessions associated with a single sign on if HttpServletRequest.logout() is used. (markt)
59054: Ensure that using the CrawlerSessionManagerValve in a distributed environment does not trigger an error when the Valve registers itself in the session. (markt)
Add socket properties support to storeconfig. (remm)
Fix incorrect parsing of the NE and NC flags in rewrite rules. (remm)
59065: Correct the timing of the check for colons in paths on non-Windows systems implemented in catalina.sh so it works correctly with Cygwin. Patch provided by Ed Randall. (markt)
When a Host is configured with an appBase that does not exist, create the appBase before trying to expand an external WAR file into it. (markt)
59115: When using the Servlet 3.0 file upload, the submitted file name may be provided as a token or a quoted-string. If a quoted-string, unquote the string before returning it to the user. (markt)
59123: Close NamingEnumeration objects used by the JNDIRealm once they are no longer required. (fschumacher/markt)
Implement the proposed Servlet 4.0 API to provide mapping type information for the current request. (markt)
59138: Correct a false positive warning for ThreadLocal related memory leaks when the key class but not the value class has been loaded by the web application class loader. (markt)
59017: Make the pre-compressed file support in the Default Servlet generic so any compression may be used rather than just gzip. Patch provided by Mikko Tiihonen. (markt)
59145: Don't log an invalid warning when a user logs out of a session associated with SSO. (markt)
59150: Add an additional flag on APR listener to allow disabling automatic use of OpenSSL. (remm)
59151: Fix a regression in the fix for 56917 that added additional (and arguably unnecessary) validation to the provided redirect location. (markt)
59154: Fix a NullPointerException in the JAASMemoryLoginModule resulting from the introduction of the CredentialHandler to Realms. (schultz/markt)

Coyote

Remove support for the HTTP BIO and AJP BIO connectors. (markt)
Refactor HTTP upgrade and AJP implementations to reduce duplication. (markt)

Add SSL engine for JSSE backed by OpenSSL. Includes ALPN support. Based on code contributed by Numa de Montmollin and derived from code developed by Twitter and Netty. (remm)
RFC 7230 states that clients should ignore reason phrases in HTTP/1.1 response messages. Since the reason phrase is optional, Tomcat no longer sends it. As a result the system property org.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER is no longer used and has been removed. (markt)

Add support for HTTP/2 including server push. (markt)
58621: The certificate chain cannot be set using the main certificate attribute, so restore the certificate chain property. (remm)
Allow a new SSL config type where a connector can use either JSSE or OpenSSL. Both could be allowed, but it would likely create support issues. This type is used by the OpenSSL implementation for NIOx. (remm)
Improve upgrade context classloader handling by using Context.bind and unbind. (remm)
Improve OpenSSL keystore/truststore configuration by using the code from the JSSE implementation. (remm, jfclere)
Fix a potential loop when a client drops the connection unexpectedly. (markt)
OpenSSL renegotiation support for client certificate authentication. (remm)
Fix NIO connector renegotiation. (remm)

Bad processing of handshake errors in NIO2. (remm)
Use JSSE session configuration options with OpenSSL. (remm)
59015: Fix potential cause of endless APR Poller loop during shutdown if the Poller experiences an error during the shutdown process. (markt)
Align cipher aliases for kECDHE and ECDHE with the current OpenSSL implementation. (markt)
59081: Retain the user defined cipher order when defining ciphers. (markt)
59089: Correctly ignore HTTP headers that include non-token characters in the header name. (markt)

Jasper

57136#c25: Change default value of quoteAttributeEL setting in Jasper to be true for better compatibility with other implementations and older versions of Tomcat. Add command line option -no-quoteAttributeEL in JspC. (kkolinko)
Fix handling of missing messages in org.apache.el.util.MessageFactory. (violetagg)
Update to the Eclipse JDT Compiler 4.5.1. (markt)

55006: The WebSocket client now honors the java.net.java.net.ProxySelector configuration (using the HTTP type) when establishing WebSocket connections to servers. Based on a patch by Niki Dokovski. (markt)
57489: Ensure onClose() is called when a WebSocket connection is closed even if the sending of the close message fails. Includes test cases by Barry Coughlan. (markt)
58624: Correct a potential deadlock if the WebSocket connection is closed when a message write is in progress. (markt)
Fix a timing issue on session close that could result in an exception being thrown for an incomplete message even through the message was completed. (markt)
Correctly handle compression of partial messages when the final message fragment has a zero length payload. (markt)
59119: Correct read logic for WebSocket client when using secure connections. (markt)
59134: Correct client connect logic for secure connections made through a proxy. (markt)

Web applications

48674: Implement an option within the Host Manager web application to persist the current configuration. Based on a patch by Coty Sutherland. (markt)
58631: Correct the continuation character use in the Windows Service How-To page of the documentation web application. (markt)
Correct the SSL documentation for deprecated attributes to point to the correct, new location for attributes related to individual certificates. (markt)

Document test.threads option in BUILDING.txt. (kkolinko)
Correct an error in the documentation of the expected behaviour for automatic deployment. If a WAR is updated and an expanded directory is present, the directory will always be deleted and recreated by expanding the WAR if unpackWARs is true. (markt)
58935: Remove incorrect references in the documentation to using jar:file: URLs with the Manager application. (markt)
Correct the description of the ServletRequest.getServerPort() in Proxy How-To. Issue reported via comments.apache.org. (violetagg)
The Manager and Host Manager applications are now only accessible via localhost by default. (markt)

Tribes

Clarify the handling of Copy message and Copy nodes. (kfujino)
Ensure that the static member is registered to the add suspect list even if the static member that is registered to the remove suspect list has disappeared. (kfujino)
When using a static cluster, add the members that have been cached in the membership service to the map members list in order to ensure that the map member is a static member. (kfujino)
Add support for the startup notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino)
Ignore the unnecessary member remove operation from different domain. (kfujino)
Add support for the shutdown notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino)
If promoting a proxy node to a primary node when getting a session, notify the change of the new primary node to the original backup node. (kfujino)

jdbc-pool

Correct evaluation of system property org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.onlyAttemptCurrentClassLoader. It was basically ignored before. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)

Other

Allow to configure multiple JUnit test class patterns with the build property test.name and document the property in BUILDING.txt. (rjung)
Support the use of the threads attribute on Ant's junit task. Note that using this with a value of greater than one will disable Cobertura code coverage. (markt)
Update optional Checkstyle library to 6.14.1. (kkolinko)
Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.4 to pick up the Windows binaries that are based on OpenSSL 1.0.2e and APR 1.5.1. (markt)
