CVE-2014-0230  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade tomcat to version 6.0.44, 7.0.55, 8.0.9 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. 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.
