Summary
tomcat6, tomcat7 vulnerabilities
Details
David Jorm discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain requests submitted using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Tomcat server to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0075)
It was discovered that Tomcat did not properly restrict XSLT stylesheets. An attacker could use this issue with a crafted web application to bypass security-manager restrictions and read arbitrary files. (CVE-2014-0096)
It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain Content-Length headers. A remote attacker could use this flaw in configurations where Tomcat is behind a reverse proxy to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2014-0099)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
