HTTP Request Smuggling

org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core is a Core Tomcat implementation.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. If an HTTP/2 client connecting to Apache Tomcat exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection (in violation of the HTTP/2 protocol), it was possible that a subsequent request made on that connection could contain HTTP headers - including HTTP/2 pseudo headers - from a previous request rather than the intended headers. This could lead to users seeing responses for unexpected resources.

Remote Code Execution

org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core is a Core Tomcat implementation.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution due to a bug in the way the underlying Java Runtime Environment (JRE) passes command line arguments to windows systems when the option enableCmdLineArguments is enabled.

The CGI Servlet in Apache Tomcat when enabled, will pass user input to the underlying operating system for command line parsing. However, this process is not consistent and may allow the injection of additional arguments. This misconfiguration could be abused by attackers to execute code on an application's underlying operating system.

Denial of Service (DoS)

org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core is a Core Tomcat implementation.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The HTTP/2 implementation accepted streams with excessive numbers of SETTINGS frames and also permitted clients to keep streams open without reading/writing request/response data. By keeping streams open for requests that utilised the Servlet API's blocking I/O, clients were able to cause server-side threads to block eventually leading to thread exhaustion.
