According to its self-reported version number, the version of Apache Tomcat running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to a failure to handle malformed input. By submitting a specially crafted AJP12 request, an unauthenticated attacker can cause Tomcat to stop responding. At present, details on the specific nature of such requests are not generally known.
