See Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/926338 for reference. You have to tell your tomcat applications explicitly if they can write or read certain file system directories. See /usr/share/doc/tomcat10/README.Debian for more information. By default Debian's tomcat package is meant to be secure. It is the task of the system administrator to configure tomcat correctly. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
