HTTP: Apache Tomcat FileUpload Content-Type Header Infinite Loop
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. The vulnerability is due to insufficient boundary checks when processing the Content-Type header of a multipart request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large amount of data to the server causing it to use up excessive resources. Successful exploitation could cause a denial of service condition on the server.
