Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 < 8.5.38 Denial of Service

high Web App Scanning Plugin ID 98543

Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 < 8.5.38 Denial of Service

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.14 or 8.5.0 to 8.5.37. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to streams kept open for requests that utilised the Servlet API's blocking I/O.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 8.5.38 or later.
