Apache Geronimo Hash Collisions Cause DoS

Published Dec 30, 2011 · Updated Aug 7, 2024 · Assigned by mitre

Package: org.apache.geronimo:geronimo Ecosystem: Maven

Description

Apache Geronimo 2.2.1 and earlier computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2011-4461.
