Machine-written summary

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

Apache Tomcat's CGI servlet is affected by a case sensitivity handling flaw in versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.100, 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.104, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.40, and 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.6. An attacker may be able to bypass security constraints applied to the pathInfo of URIs mapped to the CGI servlet. Upgrade to Tomcat 11.0.7, 10.1.41, or 9.0.105, which fix the issue.
