{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38286","details":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M20, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.24, from 9.0.13 through 9.0.89. The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are known to be affected: 8.5.35 through 8.5.100 and 7.0.92 through 7.0.109. Other EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25, or 9.0.90, which fixes the issue. Apache Tomcat, under certain configurations on any platform, allows an attacker to cause an OutOfMemoryError by abusing the TLS handshake process.","modified":"2026-05-20T16:17:36.046255670Z","published":"2024-11-07T08:15:00Z","related":["USN-7562-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2024-38286"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-38286"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-38286"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread/wms60cvbsz3fpbz9psxtfx8r41jl6d4s"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/apache/tomcat/commit/3344c17cef094da4bb616f4186ed32039627b543"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/apache/tomcat/commit/76c5cce6f0bcef14b0c21c38910371ca7d322d13"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-7562-1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"tomcat8","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tomcat8?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.5.21-1ubuntu1","8.5.29-1","8.5.30-1","8.5.30-1ubuntu1","8.5.30-1ubuntu1.2","8.5.30-1ubuntu1.3","8.5.30-1ubuntu1.4","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.1","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.2","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm1","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm2","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm3","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm4","8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"libtomcat8-embed-java"},{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"libtomcat8-java"},{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"tomcat8"},{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"tomcat8-admin"},{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"tomcat8-common"},{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"tomcat8-docs"},{"binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5","binary_name":"tomcat8-examples"},{"binary_name":"tomcat8-user","binary_version":"8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3+esm5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2024/UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38286.json"}},{"package":{"name":"tomcat9","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tomcat9?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm7"}]}],"versions":["9.0.16-3~18.04.1","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.1","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm1","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm2","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm3","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm4","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm5","9.0.16-3ubuntu0.18.04.2+esm6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available
