CVE-2014-0050: Commons FileUpload Denial of service vulnerability

December 21, 2018 (updated September 29, 2023)

MultipartStream.java in Apache Commons FileUpload before 1.3.1, as used in Apache Tomcat, JBoss Web, and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted Content-Type header that bypasses a loop’s intended exit conditions.
