CVE-2016-8747 Apache Tomcat Information Disclosure
Severity: Moderate
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M11 to 9.0.0.M15
Apache Tomcat 8.5.7 to 8.5.9
Description
The refactoring to make wider use of ByteBuffer introduced a regression
that could cause information to leak between requests on the same

information leakage between users. All HTTP connector variants are
affected but HTTP/2 and AJP are not affected.
Mitigation:
Users of the affected versions should apply one of the following
mitigations:
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M17 or later
(Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M16 has the fix but was not released)

Earlier versions are not affected
