Summary
Apache Tomcat denial of service (DoS) vulnerability
Details
Apache Tomcat from The Apache Software Foundation contains a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Apache Tomcat from the Apache Software Foundation is an implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Page (JSP) technologies. If Tomcat receives a request with an invalid header via the Java AJP connector, it will not return an error and instead closes the AJP connection. In case this connector is member of a mod_jk load balancing worker, this member will be put into an error state and will be blocked from use for approximately one minute. Thus the behavior can be used for a denial of service attack using a carefully crafted request. According to the developer, unsupported Apache Tomcat 3.x, 4.0.x, and 5.0.x may also be affected. For more information, refer to the developer's website. Yoshihito Fukuyama of NTT OSS Center reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with The Apache Software Foundation and the vendors under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.
