Description

Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured.

Solution(s)

  • apache-tomcat-upgrade-10_1_5
  • apache-tomcat-upgrade-8_5_85
  • apache-tomcat-upgrade-9_0_71
