Issue Overview:

2023-05-11: CVE-2017-12616 was added to this advisory.

CVE-2017-12616)

Tomcat: Memory leak (CVE-2022-4132)

Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.5 does not limit the number of request parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that, like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option (FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be explicitly configured. (CVE-2023-24998)
