"It was discovered that JBoss Web / Apache Tomcat did not limit the
length of chunk sizes when using chunked transfer encoding. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to perform a denial of service attack
against JBoss Web / Apache Tomcat by streaming an unlimited quantity
of data, leading to excessive consumption of server resources.
(CVE-2014-0075)

It was found that the org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet
implementation in JBoss Web / Apache Tomcat allowed the definition of
XML External Entities (XXEs) in provided XSLTs. A malicious
application could use this to circumvent intended security
restrictions to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2014-0096)

It was found that JBoss Web / Apache Tomcat did not check for
overflowing values when parsing request content length headers. A
remote attacker could use this flaw to perform an HTTP request
smuggling attack on a JBoss Web / Apache Tomcat server located behind
a reverse proxy that processed the content length header correctly.
(CVE-2014-0099)

It was discovered that the ChunkedInputFilter in Tomcat did not fail
subsequent attempts to read input after malformed chunked encoding was
detected. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make
Tomcat process part of the request body as new request, or cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2014-0227)"
