Not correct. All currently supported Tomcat versions (7.0.x, 8.5.x and
9.0.x) receive security fixes.

The Tomcat community supports 3 major versions in parallel. Currently
that is 7.0.x, 8.5.x and 9.0.x. 7.0.x will be the next to reach
end-of-life - although not for a good while yet. [1]

Depending on how long your organisation takes to upgrade from one major
version to another, you might want to start your migration soon. The
longer this process takes for your organisation, the better off you are
moving to 9.0.x since it will be supported for longer than 8.5.x.

Also, see http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html
