| Maven | org.apache.tomcat:tomcat | >= 9.0.0, < 9.0.44 | 9.0.44 |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.63, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.43 and 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.2 did not properly validate incoming TLS packets. When Tomcat was configured to use NIO+OpenSSL or NIO2+OpenSSL for TLS, a specially crafted packet could be used to trigger an infinite loop resulting in a denial of service.
