Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Apache Tomcat before 6.0.39, 7.x before 7.0.47, and 8.x before 8.0.0-RC3, when an HTTP connector or AJP
 connector is used, does not properly handle certain inconsistent HTTP request headers, which allows remote
 attackers to trigger incorrect identification of a request's length and conduct request-smuggling attacks
 via (1) multiple Content-Length headers or (2) a Content-Length header and a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"
 header. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2005-2090. (CVE-2013-4286)
