Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat servlet and JSP
engine.

CVE-2023-42795
Information Disclosure. When recycling various internal objects, including
the request and the response, prior to re-use by the next request/response,
an error could cause Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process
leading to information leaking from the current request/response to the
next.

CVE-2023-45648
Request smuggling. Tomcat did not correctly parse HTTP trailer headers. A
specially crafted, invalid trailer header could cause Tomcat to treat a
single request as multiple requests leading to the possibility of request
smuggling when behind a reverse proxy.
