Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4286)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a request-smuggling attack.

The vulnerability exists due to HTTP connector or AJP connector is used, does not properly handle certain inconsistent HTTP request headers. A remote attacker can trigger incorrect identification of a request's length and conduct request-smuggling attacks via multiple Content-Length headers or a Content-Length header and a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header.

This vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2005-2090.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4322)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to Apache Tomcat processes chunked transfer coding without properly handling a large total amount of chunked data or whitespace characters in an HTTP header value within a trailer field. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service by streaming data.


3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0075)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the parseChunkHeader function in java/org/apache/coyote/http11/filters/ChunkedInputFilter.java in Apache Tomcat. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a malformed chunk size in chunked transfer coding of a request during the streaming of data.


4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0099)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a HTTP request smuggling attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in java/org/apache/tomcat/util/buf/Ascii.java in Apache Tomcat when operated behind a reverse proxy. A remote attacker can conduct HTTP request smuggling attack via a crafted Content-Length HTTP header.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4332)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
