| Detailed Description |
The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.88. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.88_security-8 advisory.
The fix for CVE-2023-24998 was incomplete for Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M2 to 11.0.0-M4, 10.1.5 to 10.1.7, 9.0.71 to 9.0.73 and 8.5.85 to 8.5.87.
If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed with the potential for a denial of service to occur.
