Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-06-02 11:28:15 EDT

A regression was introduced in  revision 1519838 (released with Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC2) that caused AJP requests to hang if an explicit content length of zero was set on the request. The hanging request consumed a request processing thread which could lead to a denial of service.

Affects:
Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC2 to 8.0.3

Comment 1 Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-06-02 11:31:18 EDT

Statement:

This flaw does not affect Apache Tomcat as shipped by any Red Hat product as it was introduced in Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC2 and did not affect earlier versions.
