Subject: CVE-2022-42252: Apache Tomcat - Request Smuggling
CVE-2022-42252 Apache Tomcat - Request Smuggling
Severity: Low
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
Apache Tomcat 10.1.0-M1 to 10.1.0
Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.26
Apache Tomcat 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.67
Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.52
Description:
If Tomcat was configured to ignore invalid HTTP headers via setting
rejectIllegalHeader to false (the default for 8.5.x only), Tomcat did
not reject a request containing an invalid Content-Length header making
a request smuggling attack possible if Tomcat was located behind a
reverse proxy that also failed to reject the request with the invalid
header.
Mitigation:
Users of the affected versions should apply one of the following
mitigations:
- Ensure rejectIllegalHeader is set to true
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 10.1.1 or later
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 10.0.27 or later
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 9.0.68 or later
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 8.5.83 or later
