highpriority · attend · 69EPSS 0.806 · 100 %ileexploit · functionalEUUSEPSS · scored 2026-10-27
Apache Geronimo 2.2.1 and earlier computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2011-4461.
