Aliases CVE-2020-1935
Summary Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests (HTTP Request Smuggling) In Apache Tomcat, the HTTP header parsing code used an approach to end-of-line parsing that allowed some invalid HTTP headers to be parsed as valid. This led to a possibility of HTTP Request Smuggling if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that incorrectly handled the invalid `Transfer-Encoding` header in a particular manner.
