CVE-2024-34750:
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2024-34750 is a vulnerability in Apache Tomcat affecting versions from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M20, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.24, and 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.89. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on July 3, 2024, and is related to improper handling of exceptional conditions and uncontrolled resource consumption in HTTP/2 stream processing (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability occurs when processing an HTTP/2 stream, where Tomcat fails to handle some cases of excessive HTTP headers correctly. This leads to a miscounting of active HTTP/2 streams, which subsequently results in the use of an incorrect infinite timeout, allowing connections to remain open that should have been closed. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (CISA-ADP).
Impact
The successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability affects the availability of the system without compromising confidentiality or integrity (NetApp Advisory).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Tomcat version 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25, or 9.0.90, which contain fixes for this vulnerability. These versions address the HTTP/2 stream handling issue and prevent the incorrect timeout behavior (NVD).
