Descriptions

The HTTPS NIO Connector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread consumption) by opening a socket and not sending an SSL handshake, aka a read-timeout vulnerability.

El HTTPS NIO Connector permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de hilos) abriendo un socket y no enviando un apretón de manos SSL, también conocido como una vulnerabilidad de finalización de tiempo de espera de lectura.

A read-timeout flaw was found in the HTTPS NIO Connector handling of SSL handshakes. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could create a socket and cause a thread to remain occupied indefinitely so long as the socket remained open (denial of service).
