Details

In Apache Tomcat, when using FORM authentication there was a narrow window where an attacker could perform a session fixation attack When using FORM authentication with Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.29, 8.5.0 to 8.5.49 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.98 there was a narrow window where an attacker could perform a session fixation attack.
