RHSA-2020%3A3305 PUBLISHED CVSS 4.300000190734863 MEDIUM

A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. The HTTP header parsing code used an approach to end-of-line (EOL) parsing that allowed some invalid HTTP headers to be parsed as valid. This led to the possibility of HTTP Request Smuggling if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that incorrectly handled the invalid Transfer-Encoding header in a particular manner. The highest threat with this vulnerability is system availability.
