Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2018-07-26 07:16:37 UTC
CVE-2018-8014 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-8014):
  The defaults settings for the CORS filter provided in Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1
  to 9.0.8, 8.5.0 to 8.5.31, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.52, 7.0.41 to 7.0.88 are
  insecure and enable 'supportsCredentials' for all origins. It is expected
  that users of the CORS filter will have configured it appropriately for
  their environment rather than using it in the default configuration.
  Therefore, it is expected that most users will not be impacted by this
  issue.


@Maintainers please bump fixed versions and call for stabilization when ready.

Thank you

i guess this will take some time, because:

* www-servers/tomcat:7 - is fine, we have only 7.0.92 (stable)
* www-servers/tomcat:8 - we have affected 8.0.52 (stable) and unaffected 8.0.53 (unstable), which depends on >=dev-java/ant-core-1.9.13 which is not stable yet
* www-servers/tomcat:8.5 - we have affected 8.5.31 (stable) and unaffected 8.5.37 (unstable), which depends on >=dev-java/ant-core-1.9.13 which is not stable yet
* www-servers/tomcat:9 - we have affected 9.0.8 (stable) and unaffected 9.0.{14,16] (unstable), both depend on >=dev-java/ant-core-1.9.13 which is not stable yet and also on virtual/jdk-11 which is masked atm

we can stabilize ant-core-1.9.13 sooner than at 2019-02-24 and hence we could remove the affected versions for slots 8 and 8.5, but idk when we will unmask java 11, gyakovlev would probably know better. and it will take some time before it will go stable.

shall we proceed with ant-core-1.9.13 and/or 1.10.5 stabilization to fix at least slot 8 and 8.5? there were some issues with these new versions but all that have been reported have been solved.
