Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for tomcat8.

CVE-2017-5651[0]:
|The refactoring of the HTTP connectors for 8.5.x onwards, introduced a
|regression in the send file processing. If the send file processing
|completed quickly, it was possible for the Processor to be added to the
|processor cache twice. This could result in the same Processor being
|used for multiple requests which in turn could lead to unexpected errors
|and/or response mix-up.
