Date Determined False Positive

Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.13 < 9.0.63 CVE-2022-29885  The documentation of Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.20, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62 and 8.5.38 to 8.5.78 for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an untrusted network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks associated with running over any untrusted network, particularly DoS risks. CVE-2022-29885 does not affect Dell NetWorker because it does not use Tomcat clusters. September 15, 2023
