Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC1 < 8.0.3

critical Nessus Plugin ID 72693

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Apache Tomcat server is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.0.3_security-8 advisory.

- MultipartStream.java in Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.3.1, as used in Apache Tomcat, JBoss Web, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted Content-Type header that bypasses a loop's intended exit conditions. (CVE-2014-0050)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 8.0.3 or later.
