CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 tomcat6-javadoc to version 0:6.0.24-36.el6_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2012:0475.

NVD Description

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

Apache Tomcat 5.5.x before 5.5.35, 6.x before 6.0.34, and 7.x before 7.0.23 uses an inefficient approach for handling parameters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a request that contains many parameters and parameter values, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-4858.
