NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tomcat-servlet-4_0-api package and not the tomcat-servlet-4_0-api package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

If Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.82, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.67, 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.26 or 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0 was configured to ignore invalid HTTP headers via setting rejectIllegalHeader to false (the default for 8.5.x only), Tomcat did not reject a request containing an invalid Content-Length header making a request smuggling attack possible if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that also failed to reject the request with the invalid header.
