CVE-2020-17527

Apache Tomcat: Request header mix-up between HTTP/2 streams

Published Dec 3, 2020 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS 24.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
While investigating bug 64830 it was discovered that Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M9, 9.0.0-M1 to 9.0.39 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.59 could re-use an HTTP request header value from the previous stream received on an HTTP/2 connection for the request associated with the subsequent stream. While this would most likely lead to an error and the closure of the HTTP/2 connection, it is possible that information could leak between requests.
