CVE-2025-48989: Apache Tomcat: h2 DoS - Made You Reset

Improper Resource Shutdown or Release vulnerability in Apache Tomcat made Tomcat vulnerable to the made you reset attack. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.9, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.43 and from 9.0.0.M1 through 9.0.107. Older, EOL versions may also be affected. Users are recommended to upgrade to one of versions 11.0.10, 10.1.44 or 9.0.108 which fix the issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2025-48989 is a high-severity denial-of-service issue in Apache Tomcat’s HTTP/2 handling. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could cause availability impact using the “Made You Reset” attack pattern. The main business risk is service disruption for applications running affected Tomcat versions with HTTP/2 exposure. Internet-facing Tomcat services are the primary concern, especially where HTTP/2 is enabled or reachable through front-end infrastructure. Internal Tomcat deployments can also be exposed if untrusted clients can reach them. Older end-of-life Tomcat versions may also be affected, but the sources do not provide complete version detail for them. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or business-critical Tomcat applications. This is not described as code execution or data compromise, but downtime risk is high. Treat upgrades as a near-term availability protection task, especially for customer-facing services. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Tomcat 11 deployments to 11.0.10 or later.; Upgrade Tomcat 10.1 deployments to 10.1.44 or later.; Upgrade Tomcat 9 deployments to 9.0.108 or later..
