Descriptions

If an async request was completed by the application at the same time as the container triggered the async timeout, a race condition existed that could result in a user seeing a response intended for a different user. An additional issue was present in the NIO and NIO2 connectors that did not correctly track the closure of the connection when an async request was completed by the application and timed out by the container at the same time. This could also result in a user seeing a response intended for another user. Versions Affected: Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M9 to 9.0.9 and 8.5.5 to 8.5.31.

Si la aplicación completaba una petición async al mismo tiempo que el contenedor activaba el tiempo de espera de async, existía una condición de carrera que podía hacer que un usuario viera una respuesta destinada a otro usuario. Un problema adicional estaba presente en los conectores NIO y NIO2 que no rastreaban correctamente el cierre de la conexión cuando la aplicación completaba una petición async, la completaba la aplicación y expiraba por el contenedor al mismo tiempo. Esto también podría dar lugar a que un usuario vea una respuesta destinada a otro usuario. Versiones afectadas: Apache Tomcat desde la versión 9.0.0.M9 hasta la 9.0.9 y desde la 8.5.5 hasta la 8.5.31.
