Descriptions
Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions, Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. When processing an HTTP/2 stream, Tomcat did not handle some cases of excessive HTTP headers correctly. This led to a miscounting of active HTTP/2 streams which in turn led to the use of an incorrect infinite timeout which allowed connections to remain open which should have been closed. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M20, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.24, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.89. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25 or 9.0.90, which fixes the issue.
Manejo inadecuado de condiciones excepcionales, vulnerabilidad de consumo incontrolado de recursos en Apache Tomcat. Al procesar una secuencia HTTP/2, Tomcat no manejó correctamente algunos casos de encabezados HTTP excesivos. Esto llevó a un conteo erróneo de flujos HTTP/2 activos que a su vez llevó al uso de un tiempo de espera infinito incorrecto que permitió que las conexiones permanecieran abiertas y que deberían haberse cerrado. Este problema afecta a Apache Tomcat: desde 11.0.0-M1 hasta 11.0.0-M20, desde 10.1.0-M1 hasta 10.1.24, desde 9.0.0-M1 hasta 9.0.89. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25 o 9.0.90, que soluciona el problema.
A vulnerability was found in Apache Tomcat. When processing an HTTP/2 stream, Tomcat did not handle some cases of excessive HTTP headers correctly. This issue led to a miscounting of active HTTP/2 streams, which in turn led to using an incorrect infinite timeout that allowed connections to remain open that should have been closed.
It was discovered that Tomcat did not include the secure attribute for session cookies when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests from a reverse proxy. An attacker could possibly use this issue to leak sensitive information. This issue was fixed for tomcat8 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and for tomcat9 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10, and Ubuntu 25.04. It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly recycled certain objects, which could lead to information leaking from one request to the next. An attacker could potentially use this issue to leak sensitive information. This issue was fixed for tomcat8 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and for tomcat9 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10, and Ubuntu 25.04.
