QID 354037: Amazon Linux Security Advisory for tomcat8 : ALAS-2022-1627

A flaw was found in the tomcat package.
When a web application sends a websocket message concurrently with the websocket connection closing, the application may continue to use the socket after it has been closed.
In this case, the error handling triggered could cause the pooled object to be placed in the pool twice.
This issue results in subsequent connections using the same object concurrently, which causes data to be potentially returned to the wrong user or application stability issues. (
