CVE-2023-24998: Apache Commons FileUpload, Apache Tomcat: FileUpload DoS with excessive parts
First published: Mon Feb 20 2023(Updated: )
Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.
