CVE-2014-0075

Publication date 31 May 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in the parseChunkHeader function in java/org/apache/coyote/http11/filters/ChunkedInputFilter.java in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a malformed chunk size in chunked transfer coding of a request during the streaming of data.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

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.
