The servlet engine in Jakarta Apache Tomcat 3.3 and 4.0.4, when using IIS and the ajp1.3 connector, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a large number of HTTP GET requests for an MS-DOS device such as AUX, LPT1, CON, or PRN.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old denial-of-service issue in Jakarta Apache Tomcat. Affected deployments used Tomcat 3.3 or 4.0.4 behind IIS with the ajp1.3 connector. A remote attacker could crash the servlet engine by sending many crafted GET requests for reserved MS-DOS device names. Exposure is most likely in legacy Windows/IIS environments still running Tomcat 3.3 or 4.0.4 with the ajp1.3 connector. Modern Tomcat deployments, non-IIS front ends, or environments without ajp1.3 are not shown as affected by the supplied evidence. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item with service-availability risk. It is not currently evidenced as exploited, but any internet-facing affected stack should be prioritized because successful abuse can crash the application service. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Tomcat 3.3 or 4.0.4 deployments.; Check Apache Tomcat security guidance for supported upgrade direction.; Disable the IIS ajp1.3 connector where it is not required..
