CVE-2019-10072
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apache Tomcat versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.40
Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.19
Description
The issue is related to an uncontrolled resource consumption in the Apache Tomcat server. It can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) in case no WINDOW UPDATE message is sent for the connection window (stream 0). This can lead to thread exhaustion on the server-side, causing the server to become unresponsive. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified.
Recommendations
For Apache Tomcat versions 8.5.0 through 8.5.40, update to a version that includes the complete fix for the issue.
For Apache Tomcat versions 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.19, update to a version that includes the complete fix for the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the HTTP/2 connection window to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
