Synopsis

A package installed on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apache Commons FileUpload on the remote host is < 1.6 , 2.0.0-M1 < 2.0.0-M4. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to allocation of resources for multipart headers with insufficient limits.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Commons FileUpload 1.6 , 2.0.0-M4 or later.
