I know Tomcat 7 has reached the EOL. Still it is available as the only option for Tomcat in the CentOS 7.9
repository. How can I know whether security backports are available in CentOS 7 for all packages related to Tomcat 7? Are those rpm packages still safe?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

you can see the latest Tomcat builds for CentOS 7 here:
https://git.CentOS.org/rpms/tomcat/commits/c7

You can check the list of security issues for Tomcat 7 here:
https://tomcat.apache.org/security-7.html

You will notice that there is a gap of roughly two and a half years. So no, fixes are not backported and those packages are not safe to use.

Kind regards,
Steve
