REDHAT-BUG-2295651

First published: Wed Jul 03 2024(Updated: )

Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions, Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. When processing an HTTP/2 stream, Tomcat did not handle some cases of excessive HTTP headers correctly. This led to a miscounting of active HTTP/2 streams which in turn led to the use of an incorrect infinite timeout which allowed connections to remain open which should have been closed. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M20, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.24, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.89. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25 or 9.0.90, which fixes the issue.

Affected SoftwareAffected VersionHow to fix
Tomcat>=11.0.0-M1<11.0.0-M20
Tomcat>=10.1.0-M1<10.1.24
Tomcat>=9.0.0-M1<9.0.89
