Apache Tomcat - Fix for CVE-2023-24998 was incomplete

  • Disclosed: 06.07.2023
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 12:22

The fix for CVE-2023-24998 was incomplete. 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.
