CVE-2017-15698
Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.
MEDIUM 5.9EPSS 3.53%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
When parsing the AIA-Extension field of a client certificate, Apache Tomcat Native Connector 1.2.0 to 1.2.14 and 1.1.23 to 1.1.34 did not correctly handle fields longer than 127 bytes. The result of the parsing error was to skip the OCSP check. It was therefore possible for client certificates that should have been rejected (if the OCSP check had been made) to be accepted. Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.
