CVE-2025-66614
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat Hardened Images RPMs bug fix and enhancement update
Description
A certificate validation flaw has been found in Apache Tomcat. omcat did not validate that the host name provided via the SNI extension was the same as the host name provided in the HTTP host header field. If Tomcat was configured with more than one virtual host and the TLS configuration for one of those hosts did not require client certificate authentication but another one did, it was possible for a client to bypass the client certificate authentication by sending different host names in the SNI extension and the HTTP host header field. The vulnerability only applies if client certificate authentication is only enforced at the Connector. It does not apply if client certificate authentication is enforced at the web application.
