Bug Description

Tomcat Versions earlier than 7.0.82, 8.0.47, 8.5.23 or 9.0.1 (beta) are containing the vulnerability
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-12617 (Severity: Important)

The tomcat8 package in ubuntu xenial wasn't updated in the last month's so I don't think there was a backport of the fix.
