Description
It was discovered that the ChunkedInputFilter in Tomcat did not fail
subsequent attempts to read input after malformed chunked encoding was
detected. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make Tomcat
process part of the request body as new request, or cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2014-0227)
All Tomcat 7 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this
update, the tomcat service will be restarted automatically.
