Security Fix(es):



* A vulnerability was discovered in Tomcat's handling of pipelined

requests when "Sendfile" was used. If sendfile processing completed

quickly, it was possible for the Processor to be added to the processor

cache twice. This could lead to invalid responses or information

disclosure. (CVE-2017-5647)



* A vulnerability was discovered in the error page mechanism in Tomcat's

DefaultServlet implementation. A crafted HTTP request could cause

undesired side effects, possibly including the removal or replacement of

the custom error page. (CVE-2017-5664)



* Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Tomcat where if a servlet context

was configured with readonly=false and HTTP PUT requests were allowed, an

attacker could upload a JSP file to that context and achieve code

execution. (CVE-2017-12615, CVE-2017-12617)
