Description

Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.44, 7.x before 7.0.55, and 8.x before 8.0.9 does not properly handle cases where an HTTP response occurs before finishing the reading of an entire request body, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread consumption) via a series of aborted upload attempts.

Affected products

Apache Tomcat: 6.0.0, 6.0.0-alpha, 6.0.1, 6.0.1-alpha, 6.0.2, 6.0.2-alpha (+105)
Oracle Virtualization: 4.63, 4.71, 5.1
