Synopsis

Apache Tomcat 9.0.0-M1 < 9.0.108 Denial of Service

Description

The version of Apache Tomcat installed on the remote host is 9.0.0-M1 prior to 9.0.108, 10.1.0-M1 prior to 10.1.44 or 11.0.0-M1 prior to 11.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to Tomcat's HTTP/2 implementation vulnerable to the made you reset attack.

Note that the scanner has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 9.0.108 or later.
