Machine-written summary

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

Apache Tomcat tomcat-coyote versions 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.14, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.49, and 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.112 are affected. A remote attacker can send an HTTP/0.9 HEAD request to bypass a security constraint that allows HEAD but denies GET on the same URI, gaining GET access they should not have. Upgrade to tomcat-coyote 11.0.15, 10.1.50, or 9.0.113 or later, which fix the issue.
