CVE-2022-29885

The documentation of Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14, 10.0.0-M1 to
10.0.20, 9.0.13 to 9.0.62 and 8.5.38 to 8.5.78 for the EncryptInterceptor
incorrectly stated it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an untrusted
network. This was not correct. While the EncryptInterceptor does provide
confidentiality and integrity protection, it does not protect against all risks
associated with running over any untrusted network, particularly DoS risks.
