Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out Roger. I’ve rebuilt the image using the current tomcat:8.5-jdk8 container (i.e. docker build --pull etc).  I’ll look into automatic it after Christmas.

Thanks,

Matthew

Ugh. And now I see I overlooked where tomcat comes into play in the Dockerfile:
https://github.com/gbif/ipt/blob/master/package/docker/Dockerfile
Line 17: FROM tomcat:8.5-jdk8
Perhaps ‘tomcat:8.5.84-jdk8’?
And I suppose it’s Matthew that will need to check this out. 😊

Our university IT-security guys have noticed that our docker container for gbif/ipt is running a vulnerable version of Tomcat: Apache Tomcat 8.5.x < 8.5.83 which is vulnerable to "Request Smuggling Vulnerability" (CVE-2022-42252). They say that Tomcat 8.5.84 is the latest version of 8.5.

I see that we’re using maven:3.8-jdk-8 with hasn’t been updated for five months…
