(markt) Encode the output of the SSI printenv command. This is the fix for CVE-2019-0221. (markt) Use constants for SSI encoding values. (markt) When the CGI Servlet is configured with enableCmdLineArguments set to true, limit the encoded form of the individual command line arguments to those values allowed by RFC 3875. This restriction may be relaxed by the use of the new initialisation parameter cmdLineArgumentsEncoded. (markt) When the CGI Servlet is configured with enableCmdLineArguments set to true, limit the decoded form of the individual command line arguments to known safe values when running on Windows. This restriction may be relaxed by the use of the new initialisation parameter cmdLineArgumentsDecoded. This is the fix for CVE-2019-0232.

Catalina

54741: Add a new method, Tomcat.addWebapp(String,URL), that allows a web application to be deployed from a URL when using Tomcat in embedded mode.

(markt) Ensure that the ServletOutputStream implementation is consistent with the requirements of asynchronous I/O and that all of the write methods use a single write rather than multiple writes. (markt) Correct the Javadoc for Context.getDocBase() and Context.setDocBase() and remove text that indicates that a URL may be used for the docBase as this has not been the case for quite some time. (markt) Ensure that Tomcat is fully terminated when running as a service. (markt) 63003: Extend the unloadDelay attribute on a Context to include in-flight asynchronous requests. (markt) 63026: Add a new attribute, forceDnHexEscape, to the JNDIRealm that forces escaping in the String representation of a distinguished name to use the \nn form.

(markt) Ensure a DeploymentException rather than an IllegalArgumentException is thrown if a method annotated with @OnMessage does not conform to the requirements set out in the Javadoc. (markt) Improve algorithm that determines if two @OnMessage annotations have been added for the same message type. Prior to this change some matches were missed. (markt) Remove the STREAMS_DROP_EMPTY_MESSAGES system property that was introduced to work-around four failing TCK tests. An alternative solution has been implemented. Sending messages via getSendStream() and getSendWriter() will now only result in messages on the wire if data is written to the OutputStream or Writer. Writing zero length data will result in an empty message. Note that sending a message via an Encoder may result in the message being send via getSendStream() or getSendWriter(). (markt)

Catalina

57705: Add debug logging for requests denied by the remote host and remote address valves and filters. Based on a patch by Graham Leggett. (markt) Change the default of the sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash attribute of the Context element to false since the problems caused when a Servlet is mapped to /* are more significant than the security risk of not enabling this option by default. (markt) 59708: Modify the LockOutRealm logic. Valid authentication attempts during the lock out period will no longer reset the lock out timer to zero. (markt) Improve error handling around user code prior to calling InstanceManager.destroy() to ensure that the method is executed. (markt) Ensure that reading the singleThreadModel attribute of a StandardWrapper via JMX does not trigger initialisation of the associated servlet. With some frameworks this can trigger an unexpected initialisation thread and if initilisation is not thread-safe the initialisation can then fail. (markt) By default, treat paths used to obtain a request dispatcher as encoded. This behaviour can be changed per web application via the dispatchersUseEncodedPaths attribute of the Context. (markt) 59839: Apply roleSearchAsUser to all nested searches in JNDIRealm. (fschumacher) Provide a mechanism that enables the container to check if a component (typically a web application) has been granted a given permission when running under a SecurityManager without the current execution stack having to have passed through the component.

(markt) Fix a file descriptor leak when reading the global web.xml. (markt) 60041: Better error message if a JAR is deleted while a web application is running. Note: Deleting a JAR while the application is running is not supported and errors are expected. Based on a patch by gehui. (markt)

Improve error handling around user code prior to calling InstanceManager.destroy() to ensure that the method is executed. (markt) 59904: Add a limit (default 200) for the number of cookies allowed per request. Based on a patch by gehui. (markt) Make timing attacks against the Realm implementations harder. (schultz) Refactor the code that implements the requirement that a call to complete() or dispatch() made from a non-container thread before the container initiated thread that called startAsync() completes must be delayed until the container initiated thread has completed. 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)

(markt) 59908: Ensure that a reason phrase is included in the close message if a session is closed due to a timeout. (markt)

Web Applications

Do not log an additional case of IOExceptions in the error handler for the Drawboard WebSocket example when the root cause is the client disconnecting since the logs add no value. (markt) 59642: Mention the localDataSource in the DataSourceRealm section of the Realm How-To. (markt) Follow-up to the fix for 59399.

(markt) Ensure that the value for the header X-Frame-Options is constructed correctly according to the specification when ALLOW-FROM option is used. (violetagg) 59399: Add a new option to the Realm implementations that ship with Tomcat that allows the HTTP status code used for HTTP -> HTTPS redirects to be controlled per Realm. (markt) 59449: In ContainerBase, ensure that the process to remove a child container is the reverse of the process to add one. Patch provided by Huxing Zhang. (markt) RMI Target related memory leaks are avoidable which makes them an application bug that needs to be fixed rather than a JRE bug to work around. Therefore, start logging RMI Target related memory leaks on web application stop. Add an option that controls if the check for these leaks is made. Log a warning if running on Java 9 with this check enabled but without the command line option it requires. (markt) Fix a potential concurrency issue with the web application class loader and concurrent reads and writes of the resource cache. (markt) 59619: Within the web application class loader, always use path as the key for the resource cache to improve the hit ratio. This also fixes a problem exposed by the fix for 56777 that enabled file based configuration resources to be loaded from the class path. (markt) Fix error message when failed to register MBean.
