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").

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.
