CVE-2021-33037
Incorrect Transfer-Encoding handling with HTTP/1.0
At a glance Severity Not available EPSS EPSS 74.67 % · percentile 99 (2026-10-27) State PUBLISHED Published 2021-07-12 Updated 2026-10-08 Assigner apache NVD status Modified
Description Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.46 and 8.5.0 to 8.5.66 did not correctly parse the HTTP transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances leading to the possibility to request smuggling when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: - Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer encoding header if the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; - Tomcat honoured the identify encoding; and - Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
