Title:RHSA-2015:0983: tomcat security update (Moderate)
Description:Apache Tomcat is a servlet container for the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) technologies.

  • It was discovered that the ChunkedInputFilter in Tomcat did not fail subsequent attempts to read input after malformed chunked encoding was detected. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make Tomcat process part of the request body as new request, or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-0227)

    All Tomcat 7 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this update, the tomcat service will be restarted automatically.
