The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.31. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.31_security-8 advisory.

  • An improper handing of overflow in the UTF-8 decoder with supplementary characters can lead to an infinite loop in the decoder causing a Denial of Service. Versions Affected: Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M9 to 9.0.7, 8.5.0 to 8.5.30, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.51, and 7.0.28 to 7.0.86. (CVE-2018-1336)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
