NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jws5-tomcat package and not the jws5-tomcat package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads.

Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.
