Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-04-22 03:10:49 EDT

It was found that a fix for a previous security flaw introduced a regression that could cause a denial of service in Tomcat 7. A remote attacker could use this flaw to consume an excessive amount of CPU on the Tomcat server by sending a specially crafted request to that server.

Comment 3 Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-06-03 09:24:45 EDT

The flaw was introduced in the tomcat-7.0.42-4.el7 build.
