Insight
Insight
The following packages are affected: apache-tomcat tomcat jakarta-tomcat CVE-2005-2090 Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19 (Coyote/1.1) and Tomcat 4.1.24 (Coyote/1.0) allows remote attackers to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks via an HTTP request with both a 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' header and a Content-Length header, which causes Tomcat to incorrectly handle and forward the body of the request in a way that causes the receiving server to process it as a separate HTTP request, aka 'HTTP Request Smuggling.'
