| <p>This page lists all security vulnerabilities fixed in released versions |
| of Apache Tomcat<sup>®</sup> 3.x. Each vulnerability is given a |
| <a href="security-impact.html">security impact rating</a> by the Apache |
| Tomcat security team — please note that this rating may vary from |
| platform to platform. We also list the versions of Apache Tomcat the flaw |
| is known to affect, and where a flaw has not been verified list the |
| version with a question mark.</p> |
| |
| <p><strong>Please note that Tomcat 3 is no longer supported. Further |
| vulnerabilities in the 3.x branches will not be fixed. Users should upgrade |
| to 9.0.x or later to obtain security fixes.</strong></p> |
| |
| <p>The published CVE records for vulnerabilities reported from 2023 onwards |
| include affected version information for EOL versions. By default, the |
| status for EOL versions is reported as unknown. <strong>Where additional |
| information is available, the published CVE record may be updated to |
| indicate whether an EOL version is affected / not-affected. Only the |
| published CVE record will be updated. This page will NOT be updated if |
| the status of an EOL version is updated. No email announcement will be |
| made if if the status of an EOL version is updated.</strong></p> |

| <p>Please send comments or corrections for these vulnerabilities to the |

| |
| <p>Tomcat 3.x can be remotely caused to crash or shutdown by a connection |
| sending the right sequence of bytes to the AJP12 protocol port (TCP 8007 |
| by default). Tomcat 3.x users are advised to ensure that this port is |
| adequately firewalled to ensure it is not accessible to remote attackers. |
| There are no plans to issue a an update to Tomcat 3.x for this issue.</p> |
