Subject: CVE-2026-77756: Apache Tomcat: Transfer-Encoding honored for HTTP/1.0
 requests

Description:

Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response 
Smuggling') vulnerability in Apache Tomcat caused by processing the 
transfer-encoding header for an HTTP/1.0 request may allow an attacker 
to cause one request from another user to fail when Tomcat is located 
behind a reverse proxy.



This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.25, from 
10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.59, from 9.0.47 through 9.0.121.



The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are
known to be affected: from 8.5.67 through 8.5.100. Other unsupported 
versions may also be affected.



Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.26, 10.1.60 or 9.0.122, 
which fix the issue.
