Medium

Analysis Summary

CVE-2021-33037

Specifically: – Tomcat incorrectly ignored the transfer encoding header if the client declared it would only accept an HTTP/1.0 response; – Tomcat honored the identify encoding; and – Tomcat did not ensure that, if present, the chunked encoding was the final encoding.
