Tomcat 4.0 through 4.1.12, using mod_jk 1.2.1 module on Apache 1.3 through 1.3.27, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (desynchronized communications) via an HTTP GET request with a Transfer-Encoding chunked field with invalid values.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Apache/Tomcat denial-of-service issue. A remote request using malformed chunked transfer encoding can desynchronize communications when Tomcat 4.0 through 4.1.12 is connected through mod_jk 1.2.1 on Apache 1.3 through 1.3.27. Exposure is most likely in old, internet-facing Java web stacks still using Apache 1.3, Tomcat 4.x, and mod_jk 1.2.1. Modern Tomcat or Apache deployments are not identified as affected by the provided sources. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless a matching stack is internet-facing or business-critical. If confirmed on exposed production systems, prioritize remediation because remote denial of service could disrupt availability. Mitigation focus: Inventory Apache, Tomcat, and mod_jk versions on legacy web hosts.; Check Apache Tomcat and mod_jk vendor guidance for supported remediation.; Prioritize replacing unsupported Apache 1.3 and Tomcat 4.x deployments..
