Description

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.
This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.7, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.41, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.105.
The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are
known to be affected: 8.5.0 though 8.5.100. Other, older, EOL versions
may also be affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.8, 10.1.42 or 9.0.106, which fix the issue.. A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in Apache Tomcat, concerning its handling of upload limits. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted request containing an excessively large number of multipart sections. This malicious request can trigger excessive memory consumption on the Tomcat server, ultimately leading to resource exhaustion and a denial-of-service condition.
