Apache Tomcat: TOCTOU when setting specific permissions for Unix Domain Sockets - Fix for CVE-2026-65183 did not address APR connector
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (tomcat 9.0.123), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description
As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.
Time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat when creating unix domain sockets for the APR/Native connector allows an unauthorised local user to access the unix domain socket. The fix for CVE-2026-65183 only addressed the NIO connector. It did not address the same issue in the APR/Native connector. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 9.0.47 through 9.0.122. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.0.123, which fixes the issue.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-80353 Advisory: Apache Tomcat: TOCTOU when setting specific permissions for Unix Domain Sockets - Fix for CVE-2026-65183 did not address APR connector IDs: CVE-2026-80353 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-80353 (revision 2, source checked 31 Oct 2026, 07:05 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: tomcat 9.0.123. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - Bitnami tomcat: affected >= 9.0.47, < 9.0.123; fixed in 9.0.123 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - Bitnami tomcat: check the installed version with your package manager. ## Supported action Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version. ## Required regression checks - Run the test suite and a production build. - Exercise the features that depend on tomcat. - Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed. ## Rollback considerations - Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward. ## Unresolved questions - Which deployments run an affected version? - Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority. - Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production. ## Sources - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/BIT-tomcat-2026-80353 (OSV record BIT-tomcat-2026-80353 lists affected ranges: Bitnami tomcat >=9.0.47 <9.0.123 (fixed)) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
