CVE-2011-4858  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 tomcat6 to version 0:6.0.24-36.el6_2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat6 package and not the tomcat6 package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Tomcat before 5.5.35, 6.x before 6.0.35, and 7.x before 7.0.23 computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters.
