DescriptionCVE.org

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.

This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.21, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.54, from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.117. Older, unsupported versions may also be affected.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version [FIXED_VERSION], which fixes the issue.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in Apache Tomcat 9.x, 10.1.x, and 11.0.x allows remote unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server resources due to missing limits or throttling on a resource allocation path (CWE-770). Affected versions span 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.21, 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.54, and 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.117, with older unsupported branches also implicated per the EUVD entry. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation A reachable Apache Tomcat HTTP/AJP connector on an affected version (11.0.0-M1-11.0.21, 10.1.0-M1-10.1.54, 9.0.0.M1-9.0.117, or older 8.5.x/7.0.x branches) is required; no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default deployment option is needed per CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed and lean toward moderate-but-not-urgent priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A remote unauthenticated attacker sends a stream of crafted HTTP requests to an internet-exposed Tomcat connector that causes the server to allocate unbounded resources (memory, threads, or buffers) per request, exhausting the JVM or connector pool and rendering hosted applications unavailable to legitimate users. Given AC:L and PR:N, the request flow is straightforward and SSVC marks the issue as automatable, so a single script could enumerate and degrade many instances, though no public exploit is identified at time of analysis.
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade to the fixed Apache Tomcat release noted in the Apache dev list announcement at https://lists.apache.org/thread/2nvqjr7ovjmvx2vbhb7s61ycd5msc8qc (the description supplied to this analysis contains the literal placeholder [FIXED_VERSION], so confirm the precise patched build for your branch directly from the Apache advisory and from the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41284 before rollout); SUSE and HeroDevs (https://www.herodevs.com/vulnerability-directory/cve-2026-41284) also publish branch-specific guidance for distribution and legacy users. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Identify and inventory all Tomcat instances running versions 9.0.0-9.0.117, 10.1.0-10.1.54, or 11.0.0-M1-11.0.21; implement emergency monitoring for abnormal resource consumption and connection spike patterns. …
