Title:Apache Tomcat DoS Vulnerability (Jul 2021) - Windows
Summary:Apache Tomcat is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Apache Tomcat is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
An error introduced as part of a change to improve error handling
during non-blocking I/O means that the error flag associated with the Request object is not reset
between requests. This means that once a non-blocking I/O error occurres, all future requests
handled by that request object will fail. Users are able to trigger non-blocking I/O errors,
e.g. by dropping a connection, thereby creating the possibility of triggering a DoS.

Applications that do not use non-blocking I/O are not exposed to this vulnerability.

Affected Software/OS:
Apache Tomcat 8.5.64, 9.0.44 and 10.0.3 through 10.0.4.

Solution:
Update to version 8.5.65, 9.0.45, 10.0.5 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
