Summary
CVE-2023-24998:
Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request
parts to be processed resulting in the possibility of an attacker
triggering a DoS with a malicious upload or series of uploads. Note that,
like all of the file upload limits, the new configuration option
(FileUploadBase#setFileCountMax) is not enabled by default and must be
explicitly configured.
CVE-2025-48976:
Allocation of resources for multipart headers with insufficient limits
enabled a DoS vulnerability in Apache Commons FileUpload.
For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1.4-1+deb11u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libcommons-fileupload-java packages.
