Description David Jorm 2014-03-05 08:24:52 UTC

Apache Tomcat did not limit the length of chunk sizes when using chunked transfer coding. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack against Tomcat, by streaming an unlimited quantity of data, leading to consumption of server resources.
