the affected version here ( 8.5.16-1) belongs to Artful which reached EOSS (End of Standard Support) so I'm afraid it can't be fixed.
The bug was fixed in Debian for 8.5.38-2+rm version, and tomcat8 is present in Xenial with a lower version (8.0.32-1ubuntu1.13 ) (EOSS too) and in Bionic with a higher version (8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3) (so it's fixed for this). For this reason, I will mark the bug as "Won't fix".
