-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 CVE-2012-3544 Chunked transfer encoding extension size is not limited Severity: Important Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: - - Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.29 - - Tomcat 6.0.0 to 6.0.36 Description: When processing a request submitted using the chunked transfer encoding, Tomcat ignored but did not limit any extensions that were included. This allows a client to perform a limited DOS by streaming an unlimited amount of data to the server. Mitigation: Users of affected versions should apply one of the following mitigations: - - Tomcat 7.0.x users should upgrade to 7.0.30 or later - - Tomcat 6.0.x users should upgrade to 6.0.37 or later Credit: This issue was identified by Steve Jones.
