Descriptions

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."

Apache Tomcat v5.5.0 hasta v5.5.29, v6.0.0 hasta v6.0.27 y v7.0.0 beta, no maneja apropiadamente una cabecera Transer-Encoding inválida, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (indisponibilidad de la aplicación) u obtener información sensible a través de una cabecera manipulada que interfiera con el "reciclado del búffer" ("recycling of a buffer").
