Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
EUVDB-ID: #VU101814
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50379
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to missing access restrictions to the default servlet. If the default servlet is write enabled (readonly initialisation parameter set to the non-default value of false) for a case insensitive file system, concurrent read and upload under load of the same file can bypass Tomcat's case sensitivity checks and cause an uploaded file to be treated as a JSP leading to remote code execution.
Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Improper error handling
EUVDB-ID: #VU107996
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 7.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2025-31650
CWE-ID:
CWE-388 - Error Handling
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient error handling for certain invalid HTTP priority headers. A remote attacker can send a large amount of specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume all available memory, resulting in a denial of service condition.
