Hi Team,

As you are aware Yellowfin 9.8 uses the Apache Tomcat 9.0.68.

Our customer raised concern Tomcat 9.0.68 has a security issue and suppose to upgrade to the latest version or higher version (9.0.71).

We just want to understand -

1. Can we ask the customer to install Yellowfin 9.8 (which includes Tomcat 9.0.68) and upgrade the Tomcat to 9.0.71?

2. Also we want to know which version of Tomcat you are suggesting to us so that we can inform our customer.

Note: please make this ticket available publicly so that I can share it with other teams.

Thanks,

Manikandan

Hi Manikandan,

I hope you are doing well.

1. Our customer raised concern Tomcat 9.0.68 has a security issue and suppose to upgrade to the latest version or higher version (9.0.71). -- Could you please provide the CVE numbers. After getting the CVE's we will check internally.

2. Can we ask the customer to install Yellowfin 9.8 (which includes Tomcat 9.0.68) and upgrade the Tomcat to 9.0.71? -- We have a confirmation from our dev team. Yes, you can update the tomcat latest version of 9 manually. I would like to recommend go through the below link because it contains the information related to Tomcat upgrade. (https://community.yellowfinbi.com/knowledge-base/article/how-to-upgrade-tomcat).

3. Also we want to know which version of Tomcat you are suggesting to us so that we can inform our customer. -- From YF version 9.9 release we provide Upgraded Apache Tomcat from version 9.0.68 to 9.0.73 for new installs. I would suggest install 9.8 version along with tomcat 9.0.68 and upgrade to 9.0.71 manually.
