Description

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.

Solution(s)

  • amazon-linux-upgrade-tomcat7
  • amazon-linux-upgrade-tomcat8

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
