The version of Tomcat installed on the remote host is prior to 8.5.99. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the fixed_in_apache_tomcat_8.5.99_security-8 advisory.

  • Denial of Service via incomplete cleanup vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. It was possible for WebSocket clients to keep WebSocket connections open leading to increased resource consumption.This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M16, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.18, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.85, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.98. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M17, 10.1.19, 9.0.86 or 8.5.99 which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-23672)

  • Denial of Service due to improper input validation vulnerability for HTTP/2 requests in Apache Tomcat.
    When processing an HTTP/2 request, if the request exceeded any of the configured limits for headers, the associated HTTP/2 stream was not reset until after all of the headers had been processed.This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M16, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.18, from 9.0.0-M1 through 9.0.85, from 8.5.0 through 8.5.98. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M17, 10.1.19, 9.0.86 or 8.5.99 which fix the issue. (CVE-2024-24549)

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