Doc Text:	A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. A local attacker can gain unauthorized access to Unix domain communication sockets due to a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the APR/Native connector. When the connector initializes a socket, a brief timing window exists before restrictive permissions are applied, allowing an unauthorized local user to connect to the socket and potentially intercept or manipulate local service communications.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-20 13:52:06 UTC

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.
