Several problems have been addressed in Tomcat 10, a Java based web server, servlet and JSP engine which may lead to a denial-of-service.
CVE-2024-38286
Apache Tomcat, under certain configurations, allows an attacker to cause an OutOfMemoryError by abusing the TLS handshake process.
CVE-2024-52316
Unchecked Error Condition vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. If Tomcat is configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not fail, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process. There are no known Jakarta Authentication components that behave in this way.
CVE-2024-50379 / CVE-2024-56337
Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability during JSP compilation in Apache Tomcat permits an RCE on case insensitive file systems when the default servlet is enabled for write (non-default configuration). Some users may need additional configuration to fully mitigate CVE-2024-50379 depending on which version of Java they are using with Tomcat.
