CWE-399  (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 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.
