Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 4.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2018-07-31 · updated 2026-06-17
Weakness: CWE-295

Description

When using an OCSP responder Apache Tomcat Native 1.2.0 to 1.2.16 and 1.1.23 to 1.1.34 did not correctly handle invalid responses. This allowed for revoked client certificates to be incorrectly identified. It was therefore possible for users to authenticate with revoked certificates when using mutual TLS. Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.

Affected products

Apache Software Foundation Apache Tomcat Native: from 1.1.23 through 1.1.34; from 1.2.0 through 1.2.16
Debian Linux: 8.0
