Descriptions

Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.35, 6.x before 6.0.34, and 7.x before 7.0.23 uses an inefficient approach for handling parameters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a request that contains many parameters and parameter values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-4858.

Apache Tomcat v5.5.x antes de v5.5.35, v6.x antes de v6.0.34, v7.x antes de v7.0.23 utiliza un método ineficiente para el manejo de parámetros, lo que permite provocar una denegación de servicio (por consumo de CPU) a atacantes remotos a través de una solicitud que contiene muchos parámetros y valores diferentes. Se trata de una vulnerabilidad diferente a la del CVE-2011-4858.
