Apache Tomcat Transfer-Encoding Information Disclosure and Denial of Service

Apache Tomcat Transfer-Encoding Information Disclosure and Denial of Service
Posted Aug 31, 2024
Authored by Andi, Paulino Calderon, Steve Jones | Site metasploit.com

Apache Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.29, 6.0.0 through 6.0.27, and 7.0.0 beta does not properly handle an invalid Transfer-Encoding header, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application outage) or obtain sensitive information via a crafted header that interferes with "recycling of a buffer."
