CWE-770  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 tomcat-webapps to version 0:7.0.69-10.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2016:2599.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-webapps package and not the tomcat-webapps package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.44, 7.x before 7.0.55, and 8.x before 8.0.9 does not properly handle cases where an HTTP response occurs before finishing the reading of an entire request body, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread consumption) via a series of aborted upload attempts.
