FreeBSD : tomcat -- HTTP request smuggling in multiple versions (d34bef0b-f312-11eb-b12b-fc4dd43e2b6a)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 152204

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Bahruz Jabiyev, Steven Sprecher and Kaan Onarlioglu of NEU seclab reports :

Apache Tomcat did not correctly parse the HTTP transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances leading to the possibility to request smuggling when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer-encoding header if the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; Tomcat honoured the identify encoding; and Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
