Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the Http11Processor in the HTTP/1.x request-processing component. An attacker can cause one request from another user to fail by sending an HTTP/1.0 request with a Transfer-Encoding header when Tomcat is behind a reverse proxy that interprets the request differently.
