An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2002-2272 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.1.12; no fix listed\n- org.apache.tomcat:tomcat (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.1.12; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-2272/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-2272/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-2272","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-2272/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-2272","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pqr5-9v2j-44xg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tomcat Apache connector","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in Tomcat via Apache mod_jk by sending malformed chunked HTTP requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"http_server","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"tomcat","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Tomcat 4.0 through 4.1.12, using mod_jk 1.2.1 module on Apache 1.3 through 1.3.27, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (desynchronized communications) via an HTTP GET request with a Transfer-Encoding chunked field with invalid values.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2002-12-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2002-12-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"22068","stars":null,"title":"Apache 1.3.x + Tomcat 4.0.x/4.1.x mod_jk - Chunked Encoding Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Apache Tomcat DoS via Malicious Get Request","id":"CVE-2002-2272","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"apache:http_server","products":["apache:http_server","apache:tomcat"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2002"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2273"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":["4.1.12"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pqr5-9v2j-44xg"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":["4.1.12"],"package":"org.apache.tomcat:tomcat","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat","source":"GHSA-pqr5-9v2j-44xg"}],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2271"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-10-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-42013","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Improper Escaping of Output","id":"CVE-2024-38475","kev_date_added":"2025-05-01","published":"2024-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-40438","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2021-09-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-0211","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-04-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-41773","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-09-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause denial of service in Tomcat via Apache mod_jk by sending malformed chunked HTTP requests.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-2272/"}
