An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has one security fix can now be
installed.

## Description:

This update for tomcat10 fixes the following issues:

  * Fixed refactor CGI servlet to access resources via WebResources
    (bsc#1243815).
  * Fixed limits the total number of parts in a multi-part request and limits
    the size of the headers provided with each part (bsc#1244656).
  * Fixed expand checks for webAppMount (bsc#1244649).
  * Hardening permissions (bsc#1242722)

Update to Tomcat 10.1.42:

  * Fixed CVEs:

    * CVE-2025-46701: refactor CGI servlet to access resources via WebResources (bsc#1243815)
    * CVE-2025-48988: limits the total number of parts in a multi-part request and limits the size of the headers provided with each part (bsc#1244656)
    * CVE-2025-49125: Expand checks for webAppMount (bsc#1244649)
  * Catalina:

    * Add: Support for the java:module namespace which mirrors the java:comp namespace.
    * Add: Support parsing of multiple path parameters separated by ; in a single URL segment. Based on pull request #860 by Chenjp.
    * Add: Support for limiting the number of parameters in HTTP requests through the new ParameterLimitValve. The valve allows configurable URL-specific limits on the number of parameters.
    * Fix: 69699: Encode redirect URL used by the rewrite valve with the session id if appropriate, and handle cross context with different session configuration when using rewrite.
    * Add: #863: Support for comments at the end of lines in text rewrite map files to align behaviour with Apache httpd. Pull request provided by Chenjp.
    * Fix: 69706: Saved request serialization issue in FORM introduced when allowing infinite session timeouts.
    * Fix: Expand the path checks for Pre-Resources and Post-Resources mounted at a path within the web application.
    * Fix: Use of SSS in SimpleDateFormat pattern for AccessLogValve.
    * Fix: Process possible path parameters rewrite production in the rewrite valve.
    * Fix: 69588: Enable allowLinking to be set on PreResources, JarResources and PostResources. If not set explicitly, the setting will be inherited from the Resources.
    * Add: 69633: Support for Filters using context root mappings.
    * Fix: 69643: Optimize directory listing for large amount of files. Patch submitted by Loic de l'Eprevier.
    * Fix: #843: Off by one validation logic for partial PUT ranges and associated test case. Submitted by Chenjp.
    * Refactor: Replace the unused buffer in org.apache.catalina.connector.InputBuffer with a static, zero length buffer.
    * Refactor: GCI servlet to access resources via the WebResource API.
    * Fix: 69662: Report name in exception message when a naming lookup failure occurs. Based on code submitted by Donald Smith.
    * Fix: Ensure that the FORM authentication attribute authenticationSessionTimeout works correctly when sessions have an infinite timeout when authentication starts.
    * Add: Provide a content type based on file extension when web application resources are accessed via a URL.
    * Coyote
    * Refactor: #861: TaskQueue to use the new interface RetryableQueue which enables better integration of custom Executors which provide their own BlockingQueue implementation. Pull request provided by Paulo Almeida.
    * Add: Finer grained control of multi-part request processing via two new attributes on the Connector element. maxPartCount limits the total number of parts in a multi-part request and maxPartHeaderSize limits the size of the headers provided with each part. Add support for these new attributes to the ParameterLimitValve.
    * Refactor: The SavedRequestInputFilter so the buffered data is used directly rather than copied.
  * Jasper:

    * Fix: 69696: Mark the JSP wrapper for reload after a failed compilation.
    * Fix: 69635: Add support to jakarta.el.ImportHandler for resolving inner classes.
    * Add: #842: Support for optimized execution of c:set and c:remove tags, when activated via JSP servlet param useNonstandardTagOptimizations.
    * Fix: An edge case compilation bug for JSP and tag files on case insensitive file systems that was exposed by the test case for 69635.
  * Web applications:

    * Fix: 69694: Improve error reporting of deployment tasks done using the manager webapp when a copy operation fails.
    * Add: 68876: Documentation. Update the UML diagrams for server start-up, request processing and authentication using PlantUML and include the source files for each diagram.
  * Other:

    * Add: Thread name to webappClassLoader.stackTraceRequestThread message. Patch provided by Felix Zhang.
    * Update: Tomcat Native to 2.0.9.

    * Update: Byte Buddy to 1.17.5.
    * Update: Checkstyle to 10.23.1.
    * Update: File extension to media type mappings to align with the current list used by the Apache Web Server (httpd).
