So, rather than re-reading what appears to be the untrustworthy output
of a non-human automated scanning tool, (whom you may not engage in
conversation), why not re-read the thread you started and review the
facts given to you by humans* who did engage you in conversation?

Alternatively, consider the following: if a version of Tomcat set off at
1pm and was travelling at 82mph, and another version of Tomcat set off
from a station 417 miles away at 9am and was travelling towards the
first at 63mph, which version is vulnerable to a bug reported in 2002?

Then try reading a proper vulnerability report rather than the output of a vulnerability scanner. Or, as I said before, look at the Tomcat security pages.

You have been given all the information you need (and more) to answer this question.

In which case go back and read the vulnerability information again and
pay more attention to the part about affected versions.

You should also read the Tomcat security pages.

What security vulnerability is this? Every published Tomcat security
