Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in java/org/apache/tomcat/util/buf/Ascii.java in Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.53, and 8.x before 8.0.4, when operated behind a reverse proxy, allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks via a crafted Content-Length HTTP header.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly handled certain Content-Length headers. A remote attacker could use this flaw in configurations where Tomcat is behind a reverse proxy to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
