## Overview

The fix for CVE-2020-9484 was incomplete. When using Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.41, 8.5.0 to 8.5.61 or 7.0.0. to 7.0.107 with a configuration edge case that was highly unlikely to be used, the Tomcat instance was still vulnerable to CVE-2020-9494. Note that both the previously published prerequisites for CVE-2020-9484 and the previously published mitigations for CVE-2020-9484 also apply to this issue.

## Affected

- `tomcat >= 7.0.0, <= 7.0.107`
- `tomcat >= 8.5.0, <= 8.5.61`
- `tomcat >= 9.0.0, <= 9.0.41`
- `tomcat = 9.0.0`
- `tomcat = 10.0.0`
- `debian_linux = 9.0`
- `debian_linux = 10.0`
- `agile_product_lifecycle_management = 9.3.3`
- `agile_product_lifecycle_management = 9.3.6`
- `communications_cloud_native_core_policy = 1.14.0`
- `communications_cloud_native_core_security_edge_protection_proxy = 1.6.0`
- `communications_instant_messaging_server = 10.0.1.5.0`
- `database = 12.2.0.1`
- `database = 19c`
- `database = 21c`
- `graph_server_and_client < 21.3.0`
- `instantis_enterprisetrack = 17.1`
- `instantis_enterprisetrack = 17.2`
- `instantis_enterprisetrack = 17.3`
- `managed_file_transfer = 12.2.1.3.0`
- `managed_file_transfer = 12.2.1.4.0`
- `mysql_enterprise_monitor <= 8.0.23`
- `siebel_ui_framework < 21.9`
- `siebel_ui_framework = 21.9`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `graph_server_and_client 21.3.0`
- `siebel_ui_framework 21.9`
