CVE-2014-0097 Information Disclosure Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: - Apache Tomcat 8.0.0-RC1 to 8.0.3 - Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.52 - Apache Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.39 Description: The code used to parse the request content length header did not check for overflow in the result. This exposed a request smuggling vulnerability when Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that correctly processed the content length header. Mitigation: Users of affected versions should apply one of the following mitigations - Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 8.0.5 or later (8.0.4 contains the fix but was not released) - Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 7.0.53 or later - Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 6.0.41 or later (6.0.40 contains the fix but was not released) Credit: A test case that demonstrated the parsing bug was sent to the Tomcat security team but no context was provided. The security implications were identified by the Tomcat security team .
