Descriptions

Apache Tomcat 5.5.11 through 5.5.25 and 6.0.0 through 6.0.15, when the native APR connector is used, does not properly handle an empty request to the SSL port, which allows remote attackers to trigger handling of "a duplicate copy of one of the recent requests," as demonstrated by using netcat to send the empty request.

Apache Tomcat de 5.5.11 a 5.5.25 y de 6.0.0 a 6.0.15, cuando se utiliza el conector ARP nativo no maneja correctamente una petición vacía al puerto SSL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos disparar el manejo de "una copia duplicada de una de las peticiones recientes", como se demostró utilizando netcat para enviar la petición vacía.

Potential security vulnerabilities have been identified in 3rd party software used in HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor running Oracle and Apache Tomcat Software. HP has updated the Apache Tomcat and Oracle database software to address vulnerabilities affecting confidentiality, availability, and integrity. Revision 1 of this advisory.
