Description

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet with a large number of Tomcat advisory updates (this sheet is not current with the latest Tomcat vulnerabilities)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b8XqUEK1PuOfTjm1jj-YSIoQa92A7uwjVfF06kd4bXg/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Many GitHub advisories for tomcat reference the package org.apache.tomcat:tomcat, which is not an installable jar. For example
GHSA-3p86-xgrq-m6p6

Vulnerability scanners should be detecting specific components of the Tomcat project rather than the project itself, and vulnerabilities affect specific Tomcat jars, not all Tomcat jars.

There are some GitHub Tomcat advisories that do capture the specific components that a vulnerability affects
GHSA-f4qf-m5gf-8jm8

In the spreadsheet I have identified the Tomcat component(s) affected by the given vulnerabilities in column D. Some of the vulnerabilities couldn't be figured out, or are documentation or example updates. I left them in for posterity.

I have a few questions about how to submit this large corpus of updates. I would like to work with the GitHub team to minimize friction. I'm very open to suggestions. I can submit one big PR, many small PRs. I'm happy to trickle them in if that's easier. Whatever works best for the GitHub team.
