When writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile (only enabled when

Add debug logging for writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile. (markt)

65368: Improve handling of clean closes of inbound TLS

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.

(RFC 7231, 7234). (kkolinko)
not released Tomcat 9.0.9 (markt)
Catalina
Treat the <mapped-name> element of a
<env-entry> in web.xml in the same way as the
mappedName element of the equivalent @Resource
annotation. Both now attempt to set the mappedName property
of the resource. (markt)
Correct the processing of resources with
<injection-target>s defined in web.xml. First look
for a match using JavaBean property names and then, only if a match is
not found, look for a match using fields. (markt)
When restoring a saved request with a request body after FORM
authentication, ensure that calls to the HttpServletRequest
methods getRequestURI(), getQueryString() and
getProtocol() are not corrupted by the processing of the
saved request body. (markt)
JNDI resources that are defined with injection targets but no value are
now treated as if the resource is not defined. (markt)
Ensure that JNDI names used for <lookup-name> entries
in web.xml and for lookup elements of
@Resource annotations specify a name with an explicit
java: namespace. (markt)
50019: Add support for <lookup-name>.
Based on a patch by Gurkan Erdogdu. (markt)
Add the AuthenticatedUserRealm for use with CLIENT-CERT and
SPNEGO when just the authenticated user name is required. (markt)

implementation, skipMemoryLeakChecksOnJvmShutdown, that
allows the user to configure Tomcat to skip the memory leak checks
usually performed during web application stop if that stop is triggered
by a JVM shutdown. (markt)
51497: Add an option, ipv6Canonical, to the
AccessLogValve that causes IPv6 addresses to be output in
canonical form defined by RFC 5952. (ognjen/markt)
51953: Add the RemoteCIDRFilter and
RemoteCIDRValve that can be used to allow/deny requests
based on IPv4 and/or IPv6 client address where the IP ranges are defined
using CIDR notation. Based on a patch by Francis Galiegue. (markt)

persistent session store fails to delete the file for a session when the
session is invalidated because the file has not been created yet.
(markt)
Make all loggers associated with Tomcat provided Filters non-static to
ensure that log messages are not lost when a web application is
reloaded. (markt)
Correct the manifest for the annotations-api.jar. The JAR implements the
Common Annotations API 1.3 and the manifest should reflect that. (markt)
Switch to non-static loggers where there is a possibility of a logger
becoming associated with a web application class loader causing log
messages to be lost if the web application is stopped. (markt)
62389: Add the IPv6 loopback address to the default
internalProxies regular expression. Patch by Craig Andrews.
(markt)
In the RemoteIpValve and RemoteIpFilter,

ensure that the correct Connector is removed when there are multiple
Connectors using different addresses but the same port. (markt)
Make JAASRealm mis-configuration more obvious by requiring
the authenticated Subject to include at least one Principal of a type
specified by userClassNames. (markt)
Coyote

PrivilegedAction to ensure that a
SecurityException is not triggered when running under a
SecurityManager. (mark)
62350: Refactor
org.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl so a
SecurityException is not thrown when running under a
SecurityManger and additional permissions are not required in the
catalina.policy file. This is a follow-up to the fix for
43925. (kkolinko/markt)
Enable JspC from Tomcat 9 to work with Maven JspC compiler plug-ins
written for Tomcat 8.5.x. Patch provided by Pavel Cibulka. (markt)
Update web.xml, web-fragment.xml and web.xml extracts generated by JspC
to use the Servlet 4.0 version of the relevant schemas. (markt)
Cluster
Remove duplicate calls when creating a replicated session to reduce the
time taken to create the session and thereby reduce the chances of a
subsequent session update message being ignored because the session does
not yet exist. (markt)
Add the method to send a message with a specified sendOptions. (kfujino)
When sending the GET_ALL_SESSIONS message, make sure that
sends with asynchronous option in order to avoid ack timeout. Waiting to

memory leak by clearing ObjectStreamClass$Caches of classes
loaded by the web application when the web application is stopped.
(markt)
52688: Add support for the maxDays attribute to
the AccessLogValve and ExtendedAccessLogValve.
This allows the maximum number of days for which rotated access logs
should be retained before deletion to be defined. (markt)
Ensure the MBean names for the SSLHostConfig and
SSLHostConfigCertificate are correctly formed when the
Connector is bound to a specific IP address. (markt)
62168: When using the PersistentManager honor a
value of -1 for minIdleSwap and do not swap
out sessions to keep the number of active sessions under

streams from being created after the connector has been paused. (markt)
Improve debug logging for HTTP/2 pushed streams. (markt)
The OpenSSL engine SSL session will now ignore invalid accesses. (remm)
62177: Correct two protocol errors with HTTP/2
PUSH_PROMISE frames. Firstly, the HTTP/2 protocol only
permits pushes to be sent on peer initiated requests. Secondly, pushes
must be sent in order of increasing stream ID. These restriction were
not being enforced leading to protocol errors at the client. (markt)
Web applications
Add document for FragmentationInterceptor. (kfujino)
Document how the roles for an authenticated user are determined when the
CombinedRealm is used. (markt)
62163: Correct the Tomcat Setup documentation that

a complete DBCP 2 in Tomcat. (remm)
2018-03-08 Tomcat 9.0.6 (markt)
Catalina
43866: Add additional attributes to the Manager to provide
control over which listeners are called when an attribute is added to
the session when it has already been added under the same name. This is
to aid clustering scenarios where setAttribute() is often
called to signal that the attribute value has been mutated and needs to
be replicated but it may not be required, or even desired, for the
associated listeners to be triggered. The default behaviour has not been
changed. (markt)
Minor optimization when calling class transformers. (rjung)
Pass errors triggered by invalid requests or unavailable services to the
application provided error handling and/or the container provided error
handling (ErrorReportValve) as appropriate. (markt)
41007: Add the ability to specify static HTML responses for
specific error codes and/or exception types with the
ErrorReportValve. (markt)
Prevent Tomcat from applying gzip compression to content that is already
compressed with brotli compression. Based on a patch provided by burka.

suggestion by Ángel Álvarez Páscua. (markt)
Fix for RequestDumperFilter log attribute. Patch provided
by Kirill Romanov via Github. (violetagg)
62123: Avoid ConcurrentModificationException
when attempting to clean up application triggered RMI memory leaks on
web application stop. (markt)
When a deployment descriptor is deployed that includes a
path attribute, log a warning that the path
attribute will be ignored. (markt)
When a deployment descriptor is deployed that references an external
docBase and, as a result, a docBase under the
appBase will be ignored, log a warning. (markt)
Correct a regression in the fix for 60276 that meant that
compression was applied to all MIME types. Patch provided by Stefan
Knoblich. (markt)
Coyote
Add async HTTP/2 parser for NIO2. (remm)
Add minor HPACK fixes, based on fixes by Stuart Douglas. (remm)
61751: Follow up fix so that OpenSSL engine returns
underflow when unwrapping if no bytes were produced and the input is
empty. (remm)
Minor OpenSSL engine cleanups. (remm)
NIO SSL handshake should throw an exception on overflow status, like
NIO2 SSL. (remm)
Web applications

Prevent a stack trace being written to standard out when running on Java
10 due to changes in the LogManager implementation. (markt)
Avoid duplicate load attempts if one has been made already. (remm)
Avoid NPE in ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener if there is no Engine.
(remm)
62000: When a JNDI reference cannot be resolved, ensure that
the root cause exception is reported rather than swallowed. (markt)
62036: When caching an authenticated user Principal in the
session when the web application is configured with the
NonLoginAuthenticator, cache the internal Principal object
rather than the user facing Principal object as Tomcat requires the
internal object to correctly process later authorization checks. (markt)
Refactor error handling to enable errors that occur before processing is
passed to the application to be handled by the application provided
error handling and/or the container provided error handling
(ErrorReportValve) as appropriate. (markt)
Pass 404 errors triggered by a missing ROOT web application to the
container error handling to generate the response body. (markt)
Pass 400 errors triggered by invalid request targets to the container
error handling to generate the response body. (markt)
Provide a correct Allow header when responding to an HTTP
TRACE request for a JSP with a 405 status code. (markt)

context root using a URL pattern of "". (markt)
Process all ServletSecurity annotations at web application
start rather than at servlet load time to ensure constraints are applied
consistently. (markt)
Coyote
61751: Fix truncated request input streams when using NIO2
with TLS. (markt)
62023: Log error reporting multiple SSLHostConfig elements
when using the APR Connector instead of crashing Tomcat. (csutherl)
62032: Fix NullPointerException when certificateFile is not
defined on an SSLHostConfig and unify the behavior when a
certificateFile is defined but the file does not exist for both
JKS and PEM file types. (csutherl)
Ensure that the toString() method behaves consistently for
ByteChunk and CharChunk and that
null is returned when toString() is called
both on newly created objects and immediately after a call to
recycle(). This should not impact typical Tomcat users. It
may impact users who use these classes directly in their own code.
(markt)
Ensure that the toString(), toBytes() and
toChars() methods of MessageBytes behave
consistently and do not throw a NullPointerException both
on newly created objects and immediately after a call to
recycle(). This should not impact typical Tomcat users. It
may impact users who use these classes directly in their own code.
(markt)
When processing an HTTP 1.0 request in the HTTP connector and no host
information is provided in the request, obtain the server port from the
local port rather than the connector configuration since the configured
value maybe zero. (markt)
Enable strict validation of the provided host name and port for all
connectors. Requests with invalid host names and/or ports will be
rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
Update the host validation to permit host names and components of domain
names (excluding top-level domains) to start with a number and to ensure
that top-level domains are fully alphabetic. (markt)
62053: Fix NPE when writing push headers with HTTP/2 NIO2.
Patch submitted by Holger Sunke. (remm)
Jasper
Include an HTTP Allow header when a JSP generates a
405 response due to a request with an unsupported method. (markt)
Add support for the HTTP OPTION method to JSPs. The
JSP specification explicitly states that the behaviour for this
method is undefined for JSPs so this is a Tomcat specific
behaviour. (markt)
WebSocket
62024: When closing a connection with an abnormal close,
close the socket immediately rather than waiting for a close message
from the client that may never arrive. (markt)
Webapps
