Overview:

Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.63 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.43 and 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.2 did not properly validate incoming TLS packets. When Tomcat was configured to use NIOOpenSSL or NIO2OpenSSL for TLS a specially crafted packet could be used to trigger an infinite loop resulting in a denial of service.
