Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Meeting times vary, the exact schedule is available to ASF Members and Officers, search for "calendar" in the Foundation's private index page (svn:foundation/private-index.html).

## Description:
 - A Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java WebSocket and Java
   Unified Expression language specifications implementation.

## Issues:
 - There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

## Activity:
-  Continued healthy activity across multiple components and
   responsiveness on both dev and user lists.
-  Given the timing of the EU roadshow, we decided not to run a Tomcat
   specific event in Frankfurt this Spring. Instead, we are running a
   training course in Manchester UK. The event is currently predicted to
   make a small (<$100) loss but there are still two weeks to go and one
   more ticket sale will mean the event generates a surplus. In any
   event, the current losses are more than offset by the surplus
   generated from the previous event.
-  In support of the training course we have started to produce ALv2
   licensed training material. The long term aim is to create a large
   number of modules that may then be combined into courses as required.
-  We have put together a day long Tomcat track for the ApacheCon EU
   Roadshow. We anticipate at least as much content, if not more, for
   ApacheCon NA.
 - Tomcat 9.0.4, the first stable release of the 9.0.x branch
   implementing Servlet 4.0 was released this period.
-  We continue to explore migrating from svn to git. The open issue /
   question list is reducing as we explore each issue and reach
   consensus on the way forward. Discussions continue on dev@.

-  The Tomcat event in London went very well and funds were
   set aside for future similar events. The event logs were made
   available on the http://tomcat.apache.org/presentations.html
   page on the website.
-  Similar to the TomcatCon one day event in London, another
   community conference event is pencilled in for Spring,
   probably in Frankfurt.
-  Tomcat 9 milestone cycle ended following the release of the
   new Servlet 4.0 specification, and a beta release cycle has
   started.
-  The community is exploring switching from svn to git. We have
   identified a number of questions / issues and are working through
   those on the dev@ list prior to the actual migration.
-  The community is starting to look at building out some ALv2
   licensed training material which could then be used in some
   future events.

   When running with HTTP PUTs enabled (e.g. via setting the readonly

   possible to upload a JSP file to the server via a specially crafted
   request. This JSP could then be requested and any code it contained
   would be executed by the server.

## Activity:
-  Continued healthy activity across multiple components and

-  The Tomcat PMC is organising a small 1 day conference to be held
   in London later this month. At the time of writing just under two
   thirds of the twenty available places have been sold and we have
   contingency plans in place to double capacity should a last minute
   rush take us over twenty.
   Thanks to the combination of generous sponsorship and ticket sales
   we are on track to have a sufficient surplus of funds after this
   event to provide seed money (e.g. to book venues, subsidize
   speaker travel) for the next event. The aim is to be able to hold a
   handful of small events a year - based nearish committers to reduce
   speaker travel costs - that are self-financing so they can survive
   without ongoing sponsorship or subsidy / financial guarantees from
   either the ASF or individual PMC members. If we are fortunate enough
   to obtain sponsorship then that will open up the possibility of
   bringing in more speakers and/or more frequent events.
   We intend to publish 'accounts' after each event so the community
   has visibility of how the events are being financed.
   If, for any reason, we decide to discontinue these events, any
   remaining funds will be transferred to the ASF.

 - Important: Security Constraint Bypass CVE-2017-7675
   The HTTP/2 implementation bypassed a number of security checks that
   prevented directory traversal attacks. It was therefore possible to
   bypass security constraints using an specially crafted URL.
   Affects: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M21, 8.5.0 to 8.5.15

 - Moderate: Cache Poisoning CVE-2017-7674
   The CORS Filter did not add an HTTP Vary header indicating that the
   response varies depending on Origin. This permitted client and server
   side cache poisoning in some circumstances.
   Affects:  9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M21, 8.5.0 to 8.5.15, 7.0.0 to 7.0.77

## Security:
 - Detailed status:
   http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html

 - Important: Security Constraint Bypass CVE-2017-5664
   The error page mechanism of the Java Servlet Specification requires
   that, when an error occurs and an error page is configured for the
   error that occurred, the original request and response are forwarded
   to the error page. This means that the request is presented to the
   error page with the original HTTP method.
   Affects: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M20, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.43,
            8.5.0 to 8.5.14, 7.0.0 to 7.0.77

 - Important: Information Disclosure CVE-2017-5651
   The refactoring of the HTTP connectors for 8.5.x onwards, introduced
   a regression in the send file processing. If the send file
   processing completed quickly, it was possible for the Processor to
   be added to the processor cache twice. This could result in the same
   Processor being used for multiple requests which in turn could lead
   to unexpected errors and/or response mix-up.
   Affects: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M18, 8.5.0 to 8.5.12

 - Important: Denial of Service CVE-2017-5650
   The handling of an HTTP/2 GOAWAY frame for a connection did not
   close streams associated with that connection that were currently
   waiting for a WINDOW_UPDATE before allowing the application to write
   more data. These waiting streams each consumed a thread. A malicious
   client could therefore construct a series of HTTP/2 requests that
   would consume all available processing threads.
   Affects: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M18

 - Important: Information Disclosure CVE-2017-5647
   A bug in the handling of the pipelined requests when send file was
   used resulted in the pipelined request being lost when send file
   processing of the previous request completed. This could result in
   responses appearing to be sent for the wrong request. For example,
   a user agent that sent requests A, B and C could see the correct
   response for request A, the response for request C for request B and
   no response for request C.
   Affects: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M18, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.42,
            8.5.0 to 8.5.12, 7.0.0 to 7.0.76

 - Low: Information Disclosure CVE-2017-5648
   While investigating bug 60718, it was noticed that some calls to
   application listeners did not use the appropriate facade object.
   When running an untrusted application under a SecurityManager, it
   was therefore possible for that untrusted application to retain a
   reference to the request or response object and thereby access
   and/or modify information associated with another web application.
   Affects: 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.M17, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.41,
            8.5.0 to 8.5.11, 7.0.0 to 7.0.75

## Trademark:
Since our last report the Tomcat PMC dealt with the following trademark
issues:
- A minor issue with a github project that was renamed at our request
  from "Tomcat XXX" to "XXX for Tomcat".
- Some historical documentation for a product previously renamed from
  "Tomcat XXX" to "XXX for Tomcat" appeared in our regular search using
  the old name. The historical documentation was updated to use the
  correct form.
In both cases speedy resolution was aided by the fact that Tomcat PMC
members were involved in - or had close ties to - the projects
concerned.

The Tomcat PMC has decided not to pursue further a trademark issue outstanding
since 2008 since the project has been dormant for many years.

There are currently no outstanding trademark issues that the Tomcat PMC is
working on.

Apache Tomcat is a Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java WebSocket, Java
Unified Expression language and Java Authentication Service Provider
Interface for Containers specifications implementation.

Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time

Activity:
- Continued healthy activity across multiple components and responsiveness
  on both dev and user lists.
- Three presentations on Tomcat were given at ApacheCon NA and a meetup one
  evening was held with about ten participants.
- A spate of Bugzilla spam was succcessfully blocked by the infra team.
- Currently five branches are actively maintained. This will be reduced to
  three sometime later this year as 8.0.x reaches EOL (replaced by 8.5.x)
  and 6.0.x will be reach EOL at the end of this year.
- A roughly monthly release cycle is held up for 9.0.x, 8.5.x, 8.0.x and
  7.0.x and a roughly six monthly release cycle for 6.0.x.
- Open bugs (excluding enhancement requests and those where furthe
  information is required from the OP) are fixed before each release.
- There are three components where there is less activity.
  taglibs is dormant and it needs to be discussed whether it should be
  placed into Tomcat's attic.
  The Tomcat Maven Plugin needs committers. Currently it is only compatible
  with 7.0.x and lower, only.
  The connectors component is fairly mature will still sees bugs reports and
  needs committers in order to address them.
- Discussion about inviting a new committer has started with no conclusion
  yet.

Tomcat 9 has a dependency on the Servlet 4 specification which is part
of Java EE 8. There has been much public discussion about the (lack of)
progress [1] of Java EE 8. We do not intend to let this slow down Tomcat
development. We continue to review the situation and take action as
necessary. For example, Tomcat 8.5.x was introduced to make HTTP/2 (and
other new features) available in a production quality release so users
weren't waiting for Tomcat 9.

No report was submitted.

21 Oct 2015 [Mladen Turk / Shane]

This report from the Apache Tomcat PMC is being made at the recommendation of
V.P. Brand to support the Tomcat project's request for additional funding to
register our trademarks in the EU, India and China. This is in addition to our
registration in the US that is already in progress.

The funding required to meet this request is a one-off cost of $2,465.

The driver for this request is the desire of the Tomcat PMC to reduce the
ongoing impact of trademark infringements and to reduce the risk to the Tomcat
community of a future significant dispute over the project's marks.

The regions in this request for registration have been selected based on where
we see the greatest concentrations of the Tomcat community.

The board may think that since Tomcat has been in existence since 1999 that
the marks are well known and that there is no need to register the marks. The
Tomcat PMC strongly disagrees with this view. The longevity of the Tomcat
project means that a large eco-system of products has built up around Tomcat
and the size of that ecosystem increases, rather than decreases, the
likelihood of infringement.

The Tomcat PMC already has experience of handling multiple infringements of
the project's marks. We continue to concerned about any infringement due to
the potential harm it could cause to the community. The risks to the community
include:
- Potential users of Tomcat put off by their poor experience or the poor
experience of others with a low quality product intended to be used with
Tomcat that, due to the infringing name, is assumed to be a product of the ASF
and therefore indicative of the quality of ASF products.
- Potential users of Tomcat drawn to other products because those products
provide similar functionality to Tomcat and use an infringing name which
(deliberately or not) confuses users into thinking they are using Tomcat when
they are not.
- Resolving infringements requires significant volunteer energy which is then
not available to support the community. This reduces the quality of community
support and thereby makes Tomcat less attractive.
- Specifically for China, that operates a first to register rather than first
to use system, there is a significant risk that another organisation registers
Tomcat. That would cause us all sorts of problems that would require large
amounts volunteer energy to resolve as well as placing additional demands on
infrastructure.

All of these risks boil down to reducing the size of the Tomcat community and
diverting that community from developing, using and supporting Tomcat. The
smaller the community, the smaller the pool of contributors, the fewer of
those who will advance to committer and hopefully on to PMC member and ASF
member. The fewer committers and PMC members the community has, the greater
the risk to the long term survivability of the project.

To be clear, we are not saying that the Tomcat community is struggling to
survive under a flood of trademark infringements. We are saying the trademark
infringements have had, and continue to have, a negative impact on the project
and that registering our marks would reduce the ongoing impact and reduce the
risk of a future, more significant, trademark dispute.

It is also worth pointing out (with the notable exception of China) that
registration is not required in order to successfully resolve a trademark
dispute. However, as we explain later, registration does reduce the likelihood
of infringement and simplifies the process of resolution. Where the infringer
contests the issue, registration significantly reduces the time and cost of
resolution.

To date, the Tomcat PMC has resolved disputes using one of the following
paths:

1) A polite request to the product owners to change the name with which they
happily complied.
2) As 1) but the product owner had gone AWOL. In such cases the company
hosting the product (e.g. Apple, Google etc.) had to be approached to request
that the product is taken down.
3) A polite request to the product owners which is met with a "That trademark
isn't registered. I can do what I like." response. The PMC then has to take
the time to educate them that this is not that case and, eventually, the
product name is changed.
4) A large(ish) corporation has a commercial product based on Tomcat and the
sales/marketing team are keen to emphasis this to sell their product based on
Tomcat's reputation. This normally results in multiple small to medium
infringements over a long period of time. It has been resolved by an ongoing
engagement by the PMC with the infringing company to educate as to what is
allowed and to encourage the company to put processes in place to reduce /
eliminate future infringing. Depending on the frequency and serious of the
infringements, support from V.P. Brand / ASF lawyers may be requested to get
the message across to more senior figures.

1) Is easy to fix and not a great drain on the project since it only takes a
few minutes to send a polite e-mail.

2) Depends a lot on the hosting company. Some are easier to work with than
others. Resolving these usually takes a couple of hours.

3) We have had several of these and they can take up a fair amount of
volunteer time (days) to resolve.

4) We have only had one of these but it took weeks of volunteer time and
support from V.P. Brand to resolve. It also requires ongoing monitoring to
ensure that the issue remains resolved.


The benefits to the Tomcat PMC of registering our marks are as follows:
- less volunteer energy required to resolve 'simple' infringements since a
registered mark negates the whole "But that mark isn't registered"
counter-argument;
- less volunteer energy required to resolve 'simple' infringements since a
registered mark simplifies the trademark infringement reporting process for
most large 'hosting' providers (e.g. Google, Apple, etc.)
- less corporate infringements (and hence less volunteer energy required to
resolve them) since a registered mark will appear in the searches performed
when selecting product names and corporations tend to give registered marks a
wider berth than unregistered ones;
- significantly reduces the potential for us to lose the right to use the
project mark's in China;
- should an infringer refuse to stop their infringement (we haven't had this
happen yet but it feels like only a matter of time) a registered mark greatly
simplifies the resolution process (and makes it a lot less expensive).

On that last point, there have been a couple of occasions where it felt like
it was 50/50 whether the infringing party was going to stop the infringement.
Fortunately, so far, continued dialogue has resulted in the right outcome.
However, it does feel like only matter of time before an infringer refuses to
stop their infringement. Having the marks registered before that happens will
save us both time and money in that case.

 General:
 Continued healthy activity across multiple components and
 responsiveness on both dev and user lists.

Issues:
 The Apache Tomcat PMC continues to monitor the progress of the
 discussions with Oracle regarding regaining access to the TCKs.
 After a brief burst of activity at the end of April / beginning
 of May this appears to have stalled again.

Releases:
 * Apache Tomcat 8.0.9 - stable, 2014-06-26
 * Apache Tomcat 8.0.10 (not released)
 * Apache Tomcat 8.0.11 - 2014-08-26
 * Apache Tomcat 8.0.12 - 2014-09-06
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.55 - 2014-07-29
 * Apache Tomcat Native 1.1.31 - 2014-07-08

Development:
 There was lots of development activity on Apache Tomcat 7
 and Apache Tomcat 8. We had first stable release of Apache
 Tomcat 8.

Community:
 Ian Darwin requested to step down from his PMC membership and
 went emeritus.

Security:
 CVE-2013-4444 - Important: Remote Code Execution
 In very limited circumstances, it was possible for an attacker
 to upload a malicious JSP to a Tomcat server and then trigger
 the execution of that JSP. While Remote Code Execution would
 normally be viewed as a critical vulnerability, the circumstances
 under which this is possible are, in the view of the Tomcat
 security team, sufficiently limited that this vulnerability is
 viewed as important.

  A problematic user who persistently (over several years)
  refused to improve their interactions with the community was
  unsubscribed from the users list and blocked from resubscribing
  after all other attempts at addressing the issues failed.

Security:
 * CVE-2014-0075 - Important: Denial of Service
   It was possible to craft a malformed chunk size as part of a
   chucked request that enabled an unlimited amount of data to
   be streamed to the server, bypassing the various size limits
   enforced on a request. This enabled a denial of service attack.
 * CVE-2014-0096 - Important: Information disclosure
   The default servlet allows web applications to define
   (at multiple levels) an XSLT to be used to format a directory
   listing. When running under a security manager, the processing
   of these was not subject to the same constraints as the web
   application. This enabled a malicious web application to bypass
   the file access constraints imposed by the security manager via
   the use of external XML entities.
 * CVE-2014-0099 - Important: Information disclosure
   The code used to parse the request content length header did not
   check for overflow in the result. This exposed a request
   smuggling vulnerability when Tomcat was located behind a reverse
   proxy that correctly processed the content length header.
 * CVE-2014-0119 - Low: Information Disclosure
   In limited circumstances it was possible for a malicious web
   application to replace the XML parsers used by Tomcat to
   process XSLTs for the default servlet, JSP documents, tag
   library descriptors (TLDs) and tag plugin configuration files.
   The injected XML parser(s) could then bypass the limits
   imposed on XML external entities and/or have visibility of
   the XML files processed for other web applications deployed
   on the same Tomcat instance.

Development:
  There was lots of development activity on Apache Tomcat 7
  and Apache Tomcat 8. Recently some work has been done on
  new NIO2 connector.
  There was the first release of Apache Standard Taglib 1.2, an
  implementation of JSTL 1.2 (JSR 052). It is the first release
  of a tag library, after migrating Apache Taglibs project from
  Apache Jakarta to Apache Tomcat several years ago. It is the
  first release that implements JSTL 1.2 specification.

Community:
  There were no changes in community since the last report.
  We have organised a day long Tomcat Summit for ApacheCon.
  Topics for discussion are currently based around future development
  direction but any attendee is welcome to add their own topic(s).

Security:
 * CVE-2013-2067 - Important: Session fixation
   FORM authentication associates the most recent request
   requiring authentication with the current session.
   By repeatedly sending a request for an authenticated
   resource while the victim is completing the login form,
   an attacker could inject a request that would be executed
   using the victim's credentials.
 * CVE-2013-2071 - Moderate: Information disclosure
   Bug 54178 described a scenario where elements of a previous
   request may be exposed to a current request. This was very
   difficult to exploit deliberately but fairly likely to happen
   unexpectedly if an application used AsyncListeners that
   threw RuntimeExceptions.
 * CVE-2013-4590 - Low: Information disclosure
   Application provided XML files such as web.xml, context.xml,
   .tld, .tagx and .jspx allowed XXE which could be used to
   expose Tomcat internals to an attacker. This vulnerability
   only occurs when Tomcat is running web applications from untrusted
   sources such as in a shared hosting environment.
 * CVE-2013-4322 - Important: Denial of service
   The fix for CVE-2012-3544 was not complete.
   It did not cover the following cases:
   chunk extensions were not limited
   whitespace after the : in a trailing header was not limited
 * CVE-2014-0050 - Important: Denial of Service
   It was possible to craft a malformed Content-Type header for
   a multipart request that caused Apache Tomcat to enter an
   infinite loop. A malicious user could, therefore, craft a
   malformed request that triggered a denial of service.

  General
  Continued healthy activity across multiple components and
  responsiveness on both dev and user lists.

Issues
  In our last report we raised an issue about being unable to
  access latest TCKs for the Servlet, JSP, EL and WebSocket
  specifications. It is our understanding that there is an
  ongoing discussion with Oracle on this subject. We have now
  released the first Tomcat 8 Release Candidate and access to
  the TCKs would benefit future releases.
  What is the status of the discussions with Oracle, when do
  you expect those discussions to conclude and is there a view
  of what the outcome of the discussion is likely to be?

Releases
 * Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC1
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.42

Development
  There was lots of development activity on Apache Tomcat 7
  and Apache Tomcat 8 release candidate.
  With Apache Tomcat 8, support is added for the Java WebSocket
  specification. This adds to the Servlet, JSP and Unified
  Expression Language specifications already supported.
  Java WebSocket support has also been back-ported to Tomcat 7.
  There is also some development to enable IPV6 support for mod_jk.
  One of our contributors has been doing great work improving the
  look of our documentation and web site. The updated main website

19 Jun 2013 [Mladen Turk / Shane]

  General:
  Continued healthy activity across multiple components and
  responsiveness on both dev and user lists.

Issues:
  We are currently unable to access the latest TCKs for the
  Servlet, JSP, EL and WebSocket specifications pending the
  ASF's ongoing discussion with Oracle regarding TCK renewal.
  This means we are unable to test Tomcat 8 against these
  specifications and provide the assurance (that many of our
  users look for) that Tomcat 8 has passed the TCKs. This is
  not an immediate concern but will become increasingly
  important as we approach the first release of Tomcat 8
  (probably later this year).

Releases:
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.41
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.40
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.39
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.38

 General:
 Continued healthy activity across multiple components and
 responsiveness on both dev and user lists.
 We have announced on mailing lists that support for
 Apache Tomcat 5.5.x will end on 30 September 2012. Updating
 official web site will follow.

 There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.


Releases:
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.16
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.19
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.20
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.21
 * Apache Tomcat 6.0.33
 * Apache Tomcat Native 1.1.22
 * Apache Tomcat Native 1.1.22
 * Apache Tomcat Connectors 1.2.32


Community:
  Two new committers (Eiji Takahashi and Olivier Lamy) joined
  the Apache Tomcat team.


Security:
 * CVE-2011-3190
   The AJP protocol is designed so that when a request includes
   a request body, an unsolicited AJP message is sent to Tomcat
   that includes the first part (or possibly all) of the
   request body. In certain circumstances, Tomcat did not
   process this message as a request body but as a new request.
 * CVE-2011-2729
   Due to a bug in the capabilities code, jsvc
   (the service wrapper for Linux that is part of the
    Commons Daemon project) does not drop capabilities allowing
   the application to access files and directories owned
   by superuser.
 * CVE-2011-2526
   Tomcat provides support for sendfile with the HTTP NIO and
   HTTP APR connectors. sendfile is used automatically for
   content served via the DefaultServlet and deployed web
   applications may use it directly via setting request attributes.
   These request attributes were not validated. When running
   under a security manager, this lack of validation allowed
   a malicious web application to do one or more of the following
   that would normally be prevented by a security manager:
   - return files to users that the security manager should
     make inaccessible
   - terminate (via a crash) the JVM
 * CVE-2011-2204
   When using the MemoryUserDatabase (based on tomcat-users.xml)
   and creating users via JMX, an exception during the user
   creation process may trigger an error message in the JMX
   client that includes the user's password. This error message
   is also written to the Tomcat logs. User passwords are visible
   to administrators with JMX access and/or administrators with
   read access to the tomcat-users.xml file. Users that do not
   have these permissions but are able to read log files may be
   able to discover a user's password.
 * CVE-2011-2481
   The re-factoring of XML validation for Tomcat 7.0.x re-introduced
   the vulnerability previously reported as CVE-2009-0783.
   This was initially reported as a memory leak. If a web
   application is the first web application loaded, this bugs
   allows that web application to potentially view and/or alter the
   web.xml, context.xml and tld files of other web applications
   deployed on the Tomcat instance.

Trademark:
  Detailed status is in the private tomcat repository.

Good to see trademark status tracked in svn.

15 Jun 2011 [Mladen Turk / Shane]

 General:
 Continued healthy activity across multiple components and
 responsiveness on both dev and user lists.

 There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases:
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.12
 * Apache Tomcat 7.0.14

Community:
 There were no community membership changes since the
 last board report.
 Couple of developers were present at the Apache Retreat in
 Knockree working on various issues and code, namely AJP
 NIO connector.

Security:
 * CVE-2011-1183
   A regression in the fix for CVE-2011-1088
   meant that security constraints were ignored when no login
   configuration was present in the web.xml and the web
   application was marked as meta-data complete.
 * CVE-2011-1475
   Changes introduced to the HTTP BIO connector to support
   Servlet 3.0 asynchronous requests did not fully account
   for HTTP pipelining.
 * CVE-2011-1582
   An error in the fixes for CVE-2011-1088/CVE-2011-1183 meant
   that security constraints configured via annotations were
   ignored on the first request to a Servlet. Subsequent requests
   were secured correctly.

Trademark:
  Reviewed private@tomcat.a.o for all trademark issues and created
  status file in svn for tracking.

  Current status:
  * Resolved
      7 products, 2 web sites, 1 advert. 10 total
  * In progress
      3 products promised to rename
      1 product with legal-internal
      1 product in process of renaming (just domain name left)
      1 product considering entering incubation
      1 website promised to make updates

Issues:
  We are still waiting for EL 2.2 TCK. 18 months and counting.

Shane awards a rare gold star for working with third parties on brand issues!

16 Mar 2011 [Mladen Turk / Doug]

Summary:
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.


Releases:
Apache Tomcat 7.0.11 - released
Apache Tomcat 7.0.10 - released
Apache Tomcat 7.0.8  - released
Apache Tomcat 7.0.7  - released
Apache Tomcat 7.0.6  - released as first stable

Apache Tomcat 6.0.32 - released
Apache Tomcat 6.0.30 - released

Apache Tomcat 5.5.33 - released
Apache Tomcat 5.5.32 - released


Security:
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

CVE-2011-1088 Security constraint bypass. When a web application was
started, ServletSecurity annotations were ignored.

CVE-2011-0534 Remote Denial Of Service. The NIO connector expands its
buffer endlessly during request line processing. That behaviour can
be used for a denial of service attack using a carefully crafted
request.

CVE-2011-0013 Cross-site scripting. The HTML Manager interface
displayed web application provided data, such as display names,
without filtering.


Development:
Development was concentrated mainly on fixing bugs for the current
releases and pushing those releases out.

We hope to have some committers at Knockree Retreat
Plans still TBD.

GSoC: Change of approach in an effort to increase student ownership of
their GSoC work. No plans to propose projects for students. Happy to
consider student proposed projects.

JCP: EL 2.2 TCK still not available over 12 months since the initial
request from the ASF. Not expecting it any time soon. Currently
challenging two Servlet 3.0 TCK tests.

The ASF JIRA instance is now running on the latest Tomcat 7 release.


Trademark Issues:
We currently have two open trademark issues:
- http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itomcats/id388474856?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
 Rainer Jung is following up
- http://tomcat.jaxmao.org/
 Initial e-mail sent, no response received after 4 weeks

We have three trademark issues resolved:
- Tomcat plug-in for Eclipse changed their name to "Mongrel"
- Apache Tomcat Maven Plugin will become Apache Tomcat sub-project
 via incubator.
- TomCat Publishing. New independent book publisher. Not IT related.
 Not an issue.


Community:
There were no changes in the committership nor PMC membership
during this quarter.

Shane: Many thanks for excellent branding coverage.

The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.


Releases
-------------
Apache Tomcat 7.0.5  - released
Apache Tomcat 7.0.4  - released

Apache Tomcat 5.5.31 - released

Apache Tomcat Connectors 1.2.31 - released


Security
------------
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache

sort and orderBy directly without filtering thereby permitting
cross-site scripting.



Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on fixing bugs for the current
releases and pushing those releases out.

Thanks to the infrastructure team (specifically Gavin in this case) we
now have CI builds of the Tomcat 6 & 7 docs that will update with every
commit.

The new front page for Tomcat 7 has been developed and we are
working on the new Tomcat site with the same look and feel.

A work has begun on Parallel deployment, a feature that
essentially allows having two (or more) versions of the same
application deployed side-by-side..

We have also made sure to make our project compliant with the
newest ASF trademark guidelines.


Community
-----------------
We are pleased to have two new members in our team.
Christopher Schultz and Sylvain Laurent were voted as new committers.
We have also launched the official Apache Tomcat project Twitter feed.

22 Sep 2010 [Mladen Turk / Shane]

Summary:

The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.


Releases:

Apache Tomcat 7.0.2  - released
Apache Tomcat 7.0.1  - not released

Apache Tomcat 6.0.29 - released
Apache Tomcat 6.0.28 - released
Apache Tomcat 6.0.27 - not released

Apache Tomcat 5.5.31 - voted (announcement pending)
Apache Tomcat 5.5.30 - released

Security:

We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

CVE-2010-2227: Remote Denial Of Service and Information Disclosure
              Vulnerability
 Several flaws in the handling of the 'Transfer-Encoding' header
 were found that prevented the recycling of a buffer. A remote
 attacker could trigger this flaw which would cause subsequent
 requests to fail and/or information to leak between requests.
 This flaw is mitigated if Tomcat is behind a reverse proxy
 (such as Apache httpd 2.2) as the proxy should reject the invalid
 transfer encoding header.

CVE-2010-1157: Information disclosure in authentication headers
 The WWW-Authenticate HTTP header for BASIC and DIGEST authentication
 includes a realm name. If a <realm-name> element is specified for the
 application in web.xml it will be used. However, a <realm-name> is not
 specified then Tomcat will generate realm name using the code snippet
 request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort().
 In some circumstances this can expose the local host name or IP address
 of the machine running Tomcat.

Development:

Development was concentrated mainly on fixing bugs for the current
releases and pushing those releases out.

The GSOC work completed. It was touch and go whether or not it was going
to be successful for a while but we ended up with some cool enhancements
and additions fixes to Tomcat 7's JMX support which allow a user to
configure a working Tomcat instance over JMX from an absolute bare
minimum starting point. The student appears to be continuing with their
involvement with the project.

Tomcat 7 has reached about 10% of total Tomcat downloads
(not counting mirrors) which is pretty good considering it is still beta.


Community:

There was lot of activity on Users list recently and we are
planning to offer a commit privileges to couple of most active users
that are also willing to be involved into development by
providing code patches.

16 Jun 2010 [Mladen Turk / Doug]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.


Releases
-------------
We have released Apache Tomcat 5.5.29 which mainly fix numerous
bugs over the previous 5.5.28 release.
We have also prepared number of Apache Tomcat 7.0 release candidates
which are used to polish the API before creating 7.0.x branch and
switching to RTC policy.


Security
------------
We have been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

CVE-2010-1157: Information disclosure in authentication headers.
The WWW-Authenticate HTTP header for BASIC and DIGEST authentication
includes a realm name. If a <realm-name> element is specified for the
application in web.xml it will be used. However, a <realm-name> is
not specified then Tomcat will generate realm name using the code
snippet request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort().
In some circumstances this can expose the local host name or IP
address of the machine running Tomcat.


Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on releasing Tomcat 7.0
and the effort to make it specification compliant. Tomcat 7.0 also
now passes the TCK with security manager enabled, which was not
true for a very long time.
We plan to release Tomcat 6.0.27 this month and are currently
in the review process. Finally we plan to release first Tomcat 7
public release within the next few weeks.


Community
-----------------
We had a strong presence at Apache Retreat (Ireland) and have determined
the sessions for the Tomcat track at Apache Con 2010.

17 Mar 2010 [Mladen Turk / Jim]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.


Releases
-------------
We have released Apache Tomcat 6.0.24 and 6.0.26.
We have released Tomcat Connectors 1.2.30. Version 1.2.29 was
released but later withdrawn because of regression in IIS connector.
And we have also released Tomcat Native versions 1.1.19 and 1.1.20.


Security
------------
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

CVE-2009-2693: Arbitrary file deletion and/or alteration on deploy
 When deploying WAR files, the WAR files were not checked for
 directory traversal attempts. This allows an attacker to create
 arbitrary content outside of the web root by including entries
 such as ../../bin/catalina.sh in the WAR.

CVE-2009-2901: Insecure partial deploy after failed deploy
 By default, Tomcat automatically deploys any directories placed
 in a host's appBase. This behaviour is controlled by the autoDeploy
 attribute of a host which defaults to true. After a failed undeploy,
 the remaining files will be deployed as a result of the
 autodeployment process. Depending on circumstances, files normally
 protected by one or more security constraints may be deployed without
 those security constraints, making them accessible without
 authentication. This issue only affects Windows platforms.

CVE-2009-2902: Unexpected file deletion in work directory
 When deploying WAR files, the WAR file names were not checked for
 directory traversal attempts. For example, deploying and undeploying
 ...war allows an attacker to cause the deletion of the current
 contents of the host's work directory which may cause problems for
 currently running applications.


Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on fixing bugs for the current
releases and pushing those releases out.

Recent months have seen further significant reductions in the bug
backlog for Tomcat 5 & 6. Unresolved bugs now number ~20 with the oldest
opened around a month ago.

Tomcat 7 development is progressing. The JSP 2.2 and EL 2.2
implementations are complete and pass the TCK. The Servlet 3.0 is nearly
complete with just the asynchronous work and the TCK testing remaining.
The hope is to have a TCK compliant Tomcat 7 release by the end of March.


Community
-----------------
Tim Whittington was elected as new Apache Tomcat committer.
Konstantin Kolinko was voted onto the Apache Tomcat PMC.
Also a few of us will be present at Apache Retreat in Ireland
next month. We have also invited a few users that are very active
and helpful at Apache Tomcat users list, hoping that will
encourage them for eventual development involvement.

16 Dec 2009 [Mladen Turk / Roy]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
We have released Tomcat Native 1.1.18.

Security
------------
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

CVE-2009-3548 - Insecure default password
 The Windows installer defaults to a blank password for the
 administrative user. If this is not changed during the install
 process, then by default a user is created with the name admin,
 roles admin and manager and a blank password.

Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on fixing bugs for the current
releases and on finalizing the Tomcat 7. The new Tomcat Lite was moved
from the sandbox to the modules directory.
We have requested the Solaris Zone for Tomcat PMC which we would
like to use for creating daily and release builds.

Community
-----------------
There were no changes in the committership nor PMC membership
during this quarter.

Jim to make sure that sure that the Tomcat project is aware of infra-managed build options before rolling their own on a zone.

23 Sep 2009 [Mladen Turk / Jim]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
We have released Tomcat 5.5.28. and 4.1.40 versions.
Tomcat 4.1.40 was the last 4.1.x version we plan to release.


Security
------------
There were no security issue reports that would require urgent
resolution from the last board report.


Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on fixing bugs for the current
releases and on figuring out the needed tasks for Tomcat 7.
Three taglibs from Jakarta Taglibs were successfully migrated over to
the Tomcat SVN; namely Reusable Dialog Components (RDC), Standard Tag
Library (JSTL implementation) and an in development Extended Tag
Library. Migration of the web site is in progress and user mailing
list migration is requested in INFRA-2185.
Also we reorganized the SVN repository layout to better serve
the multiple branches and project modularity.


Community
-----------------
Glen Nielsen PMC membership status was changed to emeritus on his
own request. Also the SVN access was granted to JSP taglibs team
so they can continue development.

We have also voted the proposed 10th anniversary Tomcat logo, and
we hope to have it's final form in the next couple of weeks.

17 Jun 2009 [Mladen Turk / Justin]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.
There are no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
We have released Tomcat 6.0.20. Tomcat 6.0.19 was not released
due to some small packaging localization issues.
We are currently in the release process for 5.5.28 and 4.1.40
versions. Tomcat 4.1.40 is likely to be the last 4.1.x release.
Mod_jk 1.2.28 was released with numerous of binaries for
selected platforms. Finally JDBC Pool 1.0.3 was released.

Security
------------
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

CVE-2008-5515 - Information disclosure vulnerability
 When using a RequestDispatcher obtained from the Request,
 the target path was normalised before the query string was removed.
 A request that included a specially crafted request parameter could be
 used to access content that would otherwise be protected by a security
 constraint or by locating it in under the WEB-INF directory.
 Fixed and included in 6.0.20 release

CVE-2008-5519 - Information disclosure vulnerability
 Situations where faulty clients set Content-Length without providing data,
 or where a user submits repeated requests very quickly, may permit one
 user to view the response associated with a different user's request.
 Fixed in the mod_jk 1.2.27 release, but was assigned CVE number later.

CVE-2009-0033 - DoS vulnerability
 If Tomcat receives a request with invalid headers via the
 Java AJP connector, it does not return an error and instead closes the AJP
 connection. In case this connector is member of a mod_jk load balancing
 worker, this member will be put into an error state and will be blocked
 from use for approximately one minute. Thus the behaviour can be used for
 a denial of service attack using a carefully crafted request.
 Fixed and included in 6.0.20 release

CVE-2009-0580 - Information disclosure vulnerability
 Due to insufficient error checking in some authentication classes,
 Tomcat allows for the enumeration (brute force testing) of user names by
 supplying illegally URL encoded passwords. The attack is possible if FORM
 based authentication (j_security_check) is used with the MemoryRealm.
 Fixed in the SVN for all major Tomcat branches and included in the
 Tomcat 6.0.20 release.

CVE-2009-0781 - Cross-site scripting vulnerability
 The calendar application in the examples web application contains
 an XSS flaw due to invalid HTML which renders the XSS
 filtering protection ineffective.
 Fixed in the SVN for all major Tomcat branches and included in the
 Tomcat 6.0.20 release.

CVE-2009-0783 - Information disclosure vulnerability
 Bugs 29936 and 45933 allowed a web application to replace the XML parser
 used by Tomcat to process web.xml, context.xml and tld files. In limited
 circumstances these bugs may allow a rogue web application to view and/or
 alter the web.xml, context.xml and tld files of other web applications
 deployed on the Tomcat instance.
 Fixed in the SVN for all major Tomcat branches and included in the
 Tomcat 6.0.20 release.


Currently there are no pending security issues.


Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on security issues and fixing
bugs for the current releases.
Jakarta PMC proposed and we accepted to move the
JSP Standard Tag Library technologies project (Taglibs)
from Jakarta and continue its development inside Apache Tomcat.
Also we are currently discussing to reorganize SVN repository
to better server the multiple branches and project modularity.
Tomcat 7 / Servlet 3.0 is still in the early stages of development.


Community
-----------------
There were no changes in the PMC membership during this quarter.
We are very happy that Konstantin Kolinko joined us as a new committer.

We are preparing the Tomcat day for this year Apache Con US, and
it seems majority of Tomcat PMC members will be present on the
conference giving it's best to promote a 10th year anniversary of
both ASF and Apache Tomcat.

We should highlight 10 years of Tomcat at the next ApacheCon US.

Development
-------------------
Development was concentrated mainly on security issues and fixing
bugs for the current releases. We are currently in discussions to
use some of the code Costin was working on for more then 3 years
inside 'Tomcat Lite' branch.

Mod_jk had a lots of bug fixes since last released version, so we
plan to release a new version 1.2.27 this month.


Community

25 Jun 2008 [Mladen Turk / Justin]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts. There are
no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
There was no releases from the last report.

Security
------------
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.
The following security issues has been resolved:
CVE-2008-0128
JSESSIONIDSSO is transmitted without the "secure" attribute
6.0.x: Fixed, released and announced
5.5.x: Fixed, released and announced

We are currently working on the following security issues:
CVE-2008-1232
XSS with national characters and reason-phrase of HTTP response
CVE-2008-1947 Need to get a CVE for this
More XSS in manager app

Development
-------------------
We decided by majority that Tomcat Version 3.x will be declared
as unsupported. This means removing download links from
tomcat.apache.org site and marking all bugzilla issues as WONTFIX.
We decided by majority that Tomcat version 4.x will be marked
as de-supported giving a 12 to 16 months period before marking it
as unsupported. Beyond that, development was concentrated mainly
on fixing bugs for the current releases.

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.  There are no
issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
We cut a number of releases incorporating all our active branches.

Tomcat 5.5.26 was released last month incorporating numerous security
updates and bug fixes.

Tomcat 6.0.16 was released last month, both primarily bug fix and security
fix release over the previous 6.0.14 release

Tomcat connectors, mod_jk, had a release: 1.2.26.

Tomcat Native connector, had a first release: 1.1.13.

Finally the Tomcat 4.1.37 was released which was primarily security fix
release.

Security
------------
We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

Development
-------------------
We decided by majority that Tomcat Native (APR based connector) will be
handled from now on as a separate subproject with its own release cycle.
The standard vote/release process will be applied to it. The reason for
separating this subcomponent to a separate release cycle is to better
maintain this optional component, and to provide limited backward bug fix
compatibility, and the fact that it is used both by Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0
branches.

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.  There are
no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
There were no releases this month.
However we are pretty close to releasing Tomcat 6.0.15 and mod_jk 1.2.26

Security
------------
We had less security related issues, so it seems most of them
has been fixed for forthcoming releases.

Development
-------------------
Lots of development took place, mostly related to bug
fixing the reasons 6.0.15 failed the release.

The Tomcat PMC is participating in the Google Highly Open
Participation (GHOP) project, an effort to involve high school
students in open-source software development.  We submitted five tasks
to the project: three have been completed, and two are in progress:
- The Tomcat FAQ was migrated from a static document set accessible
only to committers to a public wiki,
- New documentation in the areas of Tomcat internal dependencies, and
guides on programming Tomcat Valves and Realms
- Improved XSLT / CSS handling for the printer-friendly version of
tomcat.apache.org pages

The Tomcat PMC hopes to continue its involvement with these types of
projects, and maybe pick up a couple of new contributors in the
process.

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.  There are
no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
There was no releases this month.

Security
------------

Development
-------------------
We have voted the new commit policy caused by serious
dispute among two leading Tomcat core developers with
different views on development process and some personal
dislike.
Here is the VOTE synopsis:
 o Existence of release and development branches
   in parallel with each other (dev are odd numbered,
   release are even numbered).
 o Development branches are CTR. If code or patches
   to this branch change the API, advanced warning
   is required even before the commit. It may be
   open to a vote if there is debate. Larger patches,
   as well as far-reaching patches should also be
   community gauged before implemented.
 o Release branches are RTC, with patches obtained
   from the development tree. Thus, backports refer
   to the SVN revision on the development tree which
   adds that feature.
 o Both branches have a STATUS file. For the release
   branch, STATUS is also used to note backport
   proposals.
 o Reviews are *always* appropriate. One can call
   for a formal review of a patch at any time.
 o Voting is via normal ASF rules.
 o Regarding large and/or API changing patches, use of
   a sandbox is recommended to allow for SVN history to
   be maintain, to encourage outside interest and
   involvement ("Hey, I'm working on Foo. Here is the
   SVN url. Come and help or at least follow along").
   This also allows for more complete understanding of
   the impacts before it reaches the dev branch.

The vote was passed with majority of votes from PMC members
including Jim, Yoav, Tim, Remy, Costin, Filip, Mark, Mladen,
Jean-Frederic, Rainer, Peter and Henri and without any -1.

This caused the creation of STATUS files and all significant
patches are now first put for a majority vote and review
inside:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/STATUS?view=markup
and
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/current/tc5.5.x/STATUS?view=markup

The Apache Tomcat 6.0.15 release was stopped because of few
minor TCK issues, so the plan is to tag and release 6.0.16 in
the following week.

Mod_jk is on the way for a 1.2.26 release with number of bug
fixes from 1.2.25 release.

Community
-----------------
There were no changes the committership nor PMC membership
this time.

So far for the last couple of moths we are able to continue
the active development with newly adopted commit rules.

19 Sep 2007 [Mladen Turk / Bill]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.  There are
no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
We cut a number of releases incorporating all our active branches.

Tomcat 5.5.25 was released this month.

Tomcat 6, the current production branch, had one releases this past
quarter: 6.0.14, which is the latest stable Tomcat at this time.

Finally, the Tomcat connectors, mainly mod_jk, has a couple of
releases as well: 1.2.24 and 1.2.25. However we had to revoke
the 1.2.24 release because of serious regression that slipped trough
the testing phase.

Security
------------
The Tomcat security site (http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html) has
been getting more love and attention.  It now contains the vast
majority of known issues and fixes for all Tomcat branches.

We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

There exist few open security issues at the moment.  The fixes
are already in SVN, and most of them are already incorporated with
6.0.14 and 5.5.25 releases.

Development
-------------------
There is ongoing discussion about the purpose of the current code
inside Tomcat 6 trunk, and the majority of developers have agreed
to put the trunk into the sandbox.

Community
-----------------
After last quarter's new committers and PMC members, there were no
changes the committership nor PMC membership this time.
Mladen Turk was elected as new PMC Chair and voted by the ASF Board.

Discussion on dual design approaches, overall feeling is that this will resolve itself, several directors indicated that they will watch this project.

 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors is in receipt of the resignation
 of Yoav Shapira from the office of Vice President, Apache Tomcat;

 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Yoav Shapira is relieved
 and discharged from the duties and responsibilities of the office
 of Vice President, Apache Tomcat, and

 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Mladen Turk be and hereby is
 appointed to the office of Vice President, Apache Tomcat, to serve
 in accordance with and subject to the direction of the Board of
 Directors and the Bylaws of the Foundation until death,
 resignation, retirement, removal or disqualification, or until a
 successor is appointed.

 Special order 7A, Change the Apache Tomcat Project Chair, was
 approved by Unanimous Vote.

20 Jun 2007 [Yoav Shapira / Greg]

Summary
--------------
The project continues to be active on a number of fronts.  There are
no issues requiring Board attention at this time.

Releases
-------------
We cut a number of releases incorporating all our active branches.

Tomcat 5.5.22 was out a couple of months ago, 5.5.23 last month, and
5.5.24 is coming out later this month.

Tomcat 4.1.35 was out a couple of months ago, shortly followed by
4.1.36, both primarily bug fix and security fix releases.

Tomcat 6, the current production branch, had three releases this past
quarter: 6.0.11, 6.0.12, and 6.0.13, which is the latest stable Tomcat
at this time.

Finally, the Tomcat connectors, mainly mod_jk, has a couple of
releases as well: 1.2.22 and 1.2.23.

Security
------------
The Tomcat security site (http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html) has
been getting more love and attention.  It now contains the vast
majority of known issues and fixes for all Tomcat branches.

We've been working closely with security issue reports and the Apache
Security committee on quickly replying to issues, resolving them, and
coordinating public disclosures.

There exist one or two open security issues at the moment.  The fixes
are already in SVN, the issues are not major, and we're working to
coordinate public disclosure with the reporters.

Development
-------------------
We've moved Tomcat 6.0.x into its own SVN branch, continuing work on
new and experimental features in the trunk.  We also have a sandbox
area for really experimental stuff.

Tomcat release artifacts, once approved by a PMC vote, are now
published on the standard / main Maven repositories.

We continue to work with downstream integrators and re-packagers of
Tomcat, such as the Gentoo Linux project, on improving our release
process and artifacts for their consumption.

ApacheCon
-----------------
Tomcat has a nice presence at this past ApacheCon (in Amsterdam), with
a full day of presentations and talks about the project.  There were
presentations from several Tomcat committers as well as other users
and contributors.  From what I understand, the talks were
well-attended and well-received.

Community
-----------------
After last quarter's new committers and PMC members, there were no
changes the committership nor PMC membership this time.  The PMC Chair
is likely to change next month, continuing the voluntary Tomcat
tradition of one year terms.

Henri noted his approval of the renewed "energy" with regards to security within the PMC.

Apache Tomcat Board Report, March 2007

Summary: Tomcat is chugging along, with significant development
milestones achieved this quarter, and no issues requiring Board
attention.

Community:
- We've voted in one new committer, Fabien Carrion, whose iCLA will
hopefully be recorded this week.

- We've voted in one new PMC member, Rainer Jung, as ACKed by the
Board a couple of days ago.

- We've restored one committer, Guenter Knauf, from inactive/emeritus
status, back to active status, after re-verifying his iCLA and PGP
key, and running an informal vote on the issue.

Development:
- We released the first stable version of Tomcat 6, version 6.0.10,
after much testing and iteration.  We feel very good about the
quality, scalability, and performance of the release.  Apparently it's
pretty popular, too, judging by the various traffic spikes starting
with the release announcement:
http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/days-trend.html

- We released a couple of versions of Tomcat 5.5, including a stable 5.5.23.

- We released a couple of versions of the Tomcat Connectors, including
mod_jk, 1.2.19, 1.2.20, and 1.2.21.

- I personally am very happy with the distributed nature of our
release management, in terms of how different people are cutting
releases and can back the designated RM for each branch if need be.

- We've worked hard to improve Tomcat-related security information on
the web site, creating a new set of summary pages using a similar
model to httpd's: http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html is a work in
progress, but a great improvement over the previous (lack of) data, we
think.

- We've also worked to improve integration and co-operation with the
Apache Security Team, triaging and communicating jointly on issues,
and educating some of the newer Tomcat PMC members about the process.

- We've also been working more closely with downstream packagers of
Tomcat for Linux, specifically Gentoo, and getting their early
feedback on each release as tested in their environment.  I think
that's a cool process improvement, just worth noting that it's been
working well.

Approved by General Consent.

20 Dec 2006 [Yoav Shapira / Ken]

Issues requiring the Board's attention: none.

Development
------------------
Work continues apache on Tomcat 6 and the mod_jk connector.  Both
products have done multiple alpha- and beta-level releases since the
last Board report.  Both have received increased testing from the
committers as well as outside contributors, resulting in some
interesting issues discovered and addressed.  We hope to have a stable
mod_jk release, 1.2.20, in the next week or two, as well as another
alpha-level build of Tomcat (6.0.6), and the first stable Tomcat 6
release before the next Board report.

Several of the fixes found in Tomcat 6 have been back-ported to Tomcat
5.x as well, but there has been no 5.x release since 5.5.20 in September.

Security
------------
On December 7th a possible security issue was reported to us by the
Struts PMC, which had been notified of it earlier.  After some
discussion, we concluded this was a fairly minor issue with
responsibility on both the Tomcat and Struts sides.  There was a patch
available in SVN within a day or so, and it was back-ported to
previous Tomcat branches as well.  I think we were all pretty pleased
with the efficiency and speed of communication between the projects.

Because the issue has yet to be publicly announced and this Board
report may become public before the issue is announced, we are
omitting the actual details here.  The Tomcat PMC will be glad to
provide any details required, and the discussions are archived on the
mailing list archives of private@tomcat.apache.org,
private@struts.apache.org, and security@tomcat.apache.org.

Trademarks / Legal
----------------------------
A couple of days ago we noted that
http://www.octazen.com/product_tomcatnet.html was calling their
product Tomcat.NET.  We contacted them, CCing the PRC for its records,
and Octazen immediately agreed to relabel their product and clarify
the page as to their relationship to Apache Tomcat.  So this issue was
resolved pleasantly and quickly.

Community
----------------
Not much going on here: no new committers, no new PMC members, but no
one resigning or leaving either ;)

Justin asked if the security team (aka security@apache.org) was involved regarding the "security" issue noted in the Tomcat report. Yoav, via out-of-meeting correspondance, indicated that they were.

Approved by General Consent.

20 Sep 2006 [Yoav Shapira / Dirk]

- We have no issues that require attention from the Board at this time

Development:
- Continued work on Tomcat 6.0 development: we expect to have release
 6.0.0 ready roughly at the same time that Servlet Specification v2.5
 and JSP Specification v2.1 are finalized.  No change here since
 previous Board report.
- Much work has been done on the mod_jk connector, improving
 reliability, performance, and monitoring options for httpd / mod_jk
 administrators.  It's been great to see the increased level of energy
 and enthusiasm around the connectors, and the new connector releases
 have been getting pre-release testing from a number of committers on
 various platforms.
- We've also added a non-blocking HTTPS protocol connector written in
 Java to provide users with another choice on platforms that handle
 non-blocking IO threads well.
- We're also diversifying release managers: Mark Thomas is the current
 release manager for Tomcat 4.x, Filip Hanik for Tomcat 5.x, Remy
 Maucherat for 6.x, and Rainer Jung for the connectors.

Releases:
- mod_jk 1.2.17 and 1.2.18 were released.  1.2.18 is currently the
 stable release (it was put out on July 20th).  mod_jk 1.2.19 is in the
 works, expected to release in the first half of September.
- Tomcat 4.1.34 was released in the first week of September, and
 addresses virtually all the issues reported against the previous 4.1
 release.
- Tomcat 5.5.18 and 5.5.19 were cut, but did not make it into final
 release: 5.5.20 is in the works. Tomcat 5.5.17 is still the latest
 stable Tomcat release.

People:
- No changes since last Board report.

19 Jul 2006 [Yoav Shapira / Justin]

- We have no issues that require attention from the Board at this time

Development:
- Continued work on Tomcat 6.0 development: we expect to have release
6.0.0 ready roughly at the same time that Servlet Specification v2.5
and JSP Specification v2.1 are finalized.
- Continued work on one new and improved clustering implementations
(two alternative ones, tenatively referred to as Tribes and GroupCom)
for Tomcat 6.0.  These will possibly be back-ported as optional
modules for Tomcat 5.5 in the future.
- Continued work and testing on an experimental NIO (as in java.nio)
HTTP connector, although benchmarking results are unclear at this time

Releases:
- Continued work on the mod_jk connector, and a release candidate for
1.2.16 was put out: at least one serious bug was found, and mod_jk
1.2.17 is now in testing
- A bug fix and back-porting release on the Tomcat 4.1 branch, release
4.1.32-beta, was made in early July
- No new Tomcat 5.0 or 5.5 releases, 5.5.17 is still stable and latest

28 Jul 2005 [Remy Maucherat]

Development activities:
After the release of Tomcat 5.5.9 in March, the focus has been on
feature additions. A new Tomcat 5.5.10 build has just been released
incorporating all these changes. We will also likely bootstrap a new
branch (Tomcat 6.0.x) to implement the new specifications very soon.

Infrastructure:
We plan to migrate to the new infrastucture (mailing lists, website,
and maybe also at the same time repository migration to SVN) in
conjunction with a new stable build, it seems in
september. Discussions are still ongoing, and have been slowed down by
the summer.

There have been no new committers, and no PMC membership changes.
