Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache Tomcat's tomcat-util package, in versions 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.22, 10.1.0-M7 through 10.1.55, and 9.0.83 through 9.0.118, ignores invalid Certificate Revocation Lists configured for an FFM-based connector, so revoked or invalid client certificates may be accepted. The source does not describe the attacker's position or required access. Upgrade to 11.0.23, 10.1.56, or 9.0.119, depending on your release line.
