tomcat8 (8.0.14-1+deb8u15) jessie-security; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload by the LTS team.
  * Fix flacky FTBFS by improving fix for CVE-2017-5647.
  * Refresh the expired SSL certificates used by the tests from
    freshly-renewed upstream Tomcat and adapt the test user DN.
  * Fix CVE-2019-0221:
    The SSI printenv command in Apache Tomcat echoes user provided
    data without escaping and is, therefore, vulnerable to XSS. SSI is
    disabled by default. The printenv command is intended for
    debugging and is unlikely to be present in a production website.
  * Fix CVE-2018-8014:
    The defaults settings for the CORS filter provided in Apache
    Tomcat 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.
  * Fix CVE-2016-5388:
    Apache Tomcat, when the CGI Servlet is enabled, follows RFC 3875
    section 4.1.18 and therefore does not protect applications from
    the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY
    environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to
    redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary
    proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an
    "httpoxy" issue.  The 'cgi' servlet now has a 'envHttpHeaders'
    parameter to filter environment variables.
