K73648110: Apache Tomcat vulnerability CVE-2021-25329
Original Publication Date: 16 Mar, 2021
Security Advisory Description
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. (CVE-2021-25329)
Impact
Traffix SDC
When the vulnerability is exploited, the data confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of the affected system may be compromised.
BIG-IP / BIG-IQ / F5OS
There is no impact; the BIG-IP, BIG-IQ, and F5OS products are not affected by
this vulnerability.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID SDC-1030 (Traffix SDC) to this
vulnerability.
To determine if your product and version have been evaluated for this
vulnerability, refer to the Applies to (see versions) box. To determine if your
release is known to be vulnerable, the components or features that are affected
by the vulnerability, and for information about releases, point releases, or
hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following table. For more
information about security advisory versioning, refer to K51812227:
Understanding security advisory versioning.
Note: After a fix is introduced for a vulnerable version, that fix applies to
all subsequent point releases for that version and no additional fixes for that
version will be listed in the table. For example, when a fix is introduced in
14.1.2.3, the fix applies to 14.1.2.4 and all later point releases.

Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by installing a version listed in
the Fixes introduced in column. If the Fixes introduced in column does not list
a version for your branch, then no update candidate currently exists for that
branch and F5 recommends upgrading to a version with the fix (refer to the
table).
If the Fixes introduced in column lists a version prior to the one you are
running, in the same branch, then your version should have the fix.
