    Summary: Apache Tomcat: Fix for CVE-2023-24998 is incomplete

    Details: The fix for CVE-2023-24998 was incomplete for Apache Tomcat 10.1.5 to 10.1.7, 9.0.71 to 9.0.73 and 8.5.85 to 8.5.87. If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed with the potential for a denial of service to occur.
