Title:Apache Tomcat Clustering DoS Vulnerability (May 2022)
Summary:Apache Tomcat is prone to a denial of service (DoS); vulnerability when running with enabled Tomcat clustering over an untrusted network.
Description:Summary:
Apache Tomcat is prone to a denial of service (DoS)
vulnerability when running with enabled Tomcat clustering over an untrusted network.

Vulnerability Insight:
The documentation for the EncryptInterceptor incorrectly stated
it enabled Tomcat clustering to run over an untrusted network. This was not correct. While the
EncryptInterceptor does provide confidentiality and integrity protection, it does not protect
against all risks associated with running over any untrusted network, particularly DoS risks.

Affected Software/OS:
- The documentation in Apache Tomcat 8.5.38 through 8.5.78,
9.0.13 through 9.0.62, 10.0.0-M1 through 10.0.20 and 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0-M14

- Apache Tomcat when running with enabled Tomcat clustering over an untrusted network

Solution:
- Don't run Apache Tomcat with enabled Tomcat clustering over
an untrusted network

- Update Apache Tomcat to version 10.1.0-M15, 10.0.21, 9.0.63, 8.5.79 or later to receive the
corrected / updated documentation
