Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:0983-1
Issue Date: 2015-05-12

--

It was discovered that the ChunkedInputFilter in Tomcat did not fail
subsequent attempts to read input after malformed chunked encoding was
detected. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make Tomcat
process part of the request body as new request, or cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2014-0227)

After installing this update, the tomcat service will be restarted
automatically.
