Published Jun 25, 2015 · Updated Feb 10, 2026

External Entities (XXE). A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
read arbitrary files. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2014-0119)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled data with malformed
chunked transfer coding. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks, or cause Tomcat to consume
resources, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0227)

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled HTTP responses occurring
before the entire request body was finished being read. A remote attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause a limited denial of service. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-0230)

It was discovered that the Tomcat Expression Language (EL) implementation
incorrectly handled accessible interfaces implemented by inaccessible
classes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass a
SecurityManager protection mechanism. (CVE-2014-7810)
