Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, when Tomcat was starting up, it failed to undeploy applications and returned a 'StackOverflowError' exception. This was caused by an infinite loop that eventually caused Tomcat to run out of memory. The infinite loop was a result of a faulty check that searched for directory traversal attempts in WAR archives. With this update, the undeploying of applications works as expected and no longer returns a stack overflow error.
