Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2012-3544 did not properly resolve a denial of service flaw in the way Tomcat and JBoss Web processed chunk extensions and trailing headers in chunked requests. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send an excessively long request that, when processed by Tomcat, could consume network bandwidth, CPU, and memory on the Tomcat server. Note that chunked transfer encoding is enabled by default.

Description Vincent Danen 2014-02-25 16:50:57 EST 
The fix for CVE-2012-3544 was not complete. It did not cover the following cases:

a) Chunk extensions were not limited
b) Whitespace after the : in a trailing header was not limited

This has been corrected in upstream versions 8.0.0-rc10 [1],[2], 7.0.50 [3],[4], and 6.0.39 [5]

[1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1521834
[2] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1549522
[3] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1521864
[4] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1549523
[5] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1556540

This could lead to a remote attacker causing a denial of service by streaming data, because Tomcat did not fully handle chunk extensions in chunked transfer coding.
