Package: tomcat8
Version: 8.5.54-0+deb9u1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

Last tomcat8 upgrade, fixing CVE-2020-1938, is breaking the functionalities of Tomcat AJP connector
in standard setup.
The updated tomcat8 version implements 'secretRequired' parameter in <Connector> tag for config file
/etc/tomcat8/server.xml (attached by reportbut) and the implicit default for 'secretRequired' is true.
The default value is not explicitly marked in the standard server.xml, nor documented there.

However, current apache2 package version 2.4.25-3+deb9u9 does not support secret in mod_proxy_ajp.
Hence, to get a working system using AJP, secretRequired has to be set to false in server.xml

Apache2 mod_proxy_ajp supports secret since version 2.5, backported to 2.4.42.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_ajp.html

The solution is either to upgrade the apache2 package, or to have the default for 'secretRequired' set
to 'false', with some comments in the server.xml itself.
The standard configuration accepts AJP connections from localhost only, and/or iptables rules can
applied as well.

Adding relevant part of catalina.out to this bug report.

Thank you
Cheers
Gianluca Bonetti
