Amazon Linux 2023 : tomcat9, tomcat9-admin-webapps, tomcat9-el-3.0-api (ALAS2023-2023-238)
Discription

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-238 advisory.

– The fix for CVE-2023-24998 was incomplete for Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M2 to 11.0.0-M4, 10.1.5 to 10.1.7, 9.0.71 to 9.0.73 and 8.5.85 to 8.5.87. If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed with the potential for a denial of service to occur. (CVE-2023-28709)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.Read More
