Norihito Aimoto of OSSTech Corporation discovered a security vulnerability in the Tomcat servlet and JSP engine.

A trailer header that exceeded the header size limit could cause Tomcat to treat a single request as multiple requests leading to the possibility of request smuggling when behind a reverse proxy.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 7.0.56-3+really7.0.109-1+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat7 packages.
