An update of the apache package has been released.

  • 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 NIO+OpenSSL or NIO2+OpenSSL for TLS, a specially crafted packet could be used to trigger an infinite loop resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2021-41079)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
