CVE-ID:CVE-2016-8610

Description: OpenSSL has a security vulnerability, where processing of ALERT packets that are defined in the TLS/SSL protocol during a connection handshake results in a denial-of-service (DOS) attack. **CVSS Base Score:**7.5 **CVSS Temporal Score: **See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/118296&gt; for the current score. *CVSS Environmental Score:**Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6056

Description: Apache Tomcat has a security vulnerability, due to which a programming error while processing of HTTPS requests results in a denial-of-service (DOS) attack through an infinite loop. **CVSS Base Score: **7.5 **CVSS Temporal Score: **See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/122312&gt; for the current score. *CVSS Environmental Score: **Undefined **CVSS Vector: **(CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5647

Description: Apache Tomcat has a security vulnerability, while send file processing of the previous request is complete, the pipelined requests are being lost. This vulnerability results in sending wrong responses to wrong requests that exposes the possibility for an attacker to obtain sensitive information from the responses. **CVSS Base Score:**5.3 **CVSS Temporal Score:**See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/124400&gt; for the current score. *CVSS Environmental Score:**Undefined CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N).

CVE-ID:CVE-2017-5648

Description: Apache Tomcat has a security vulnerability, where it allows an attacker to bypass security restrictions caused by the failure to use the appropriate facade object by certain application listener calls. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access and modify data on a system. **CVSS Base Score:**5.3 **CVSS Temporal Score:**See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/124399&gt; for the current score. *CVSS Environmental Score:**Undefined CVSS Vector(CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N).
