Tomcat Vulnerabilities for 6.x and 7.x version
Hi Team,
We need to understand the fix for tomcat Vulnerabilities for 6.0.29 and 7.0 version.
We came across a CVE Reference: CVE-2014-0230 which says
"When a response for a request with a request body is returned to the user agent before the request body is fully read, by default Tomcat swallows the remaining request body so that the next request on the connection may be processed. There was no limit to the size of request body that Tomcat would swallow. This permitted a limited Denial of Service as Tomcat would never close the connection and a processing thread would remain allocated to the connection"
Could you please provide us with the Fix or patch for the same as we could not found same on the apache tomcat site.
Thanks & Regards,
Paran Mittal

To repeat: use the current releases if you want this non-problem fixed. Tomcat does not supply patches, although you could - in theory - extract the relevant code and its dependencies from svn and apply those. Much simpler (and safer) to install the current Tomcat version.

With Tomcat, you don't deploy changes, nor do you apply patches. To get
fixes, you update at least to the version of TC that has the fix you
need. Or, preferably, you update to the latest version, so you also get
other fixes that you didn't know you needed, but which are important anyway.
