CVE-2023-34981
Description
A flaw was found in Tomcat. If a response did not have any HTTP headers set, no AJP SEND_HEADERS message would be sent, resulting in at least one AJP based proxy (mod_proxy_ajp) using the response headers from the previous request for the current request, leading to an information leak. The information leaked may give a user sensitive information which is uncontrolled.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
