Are you talking about this one?

Tomcat does not deserialize object streams from untrusted sources, so
Tomcat has no vulnerability, here. Also, Tomcat does not use any of the
libraries mentioned in the report, though I'm sure that list is now
exhaustive.

Applications running on Tomcat may, however, be vulnerable to this
attack, but the vector isn't Tomcat: it's the application and its
failure to validate data from an untrusted source before deserializing
such data.
