CVE-2022-42826 is a vulnerability that was discovered in September 2022. This vulnerability affects the popular web server software, Apache Tomcat. The flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely on the affected server, allowing them to take control of the server and potentially access sensitive information or cause damage to the system. The vulnerability is caused by a flaw in the way Apache Tomcat handles certain requests. Specifically, the vulnerability is related to the parsing of HTTP headers, which can be exploited to inject malicious code into the server's memory. This can then be executed by the server, giving the attacker full control over the system. Upon discovery of the vulnerability, the Apache Software Foundation released a patch to address the issue. However, it is important for system administrators to ensure that their servers are updated with the latest security patches in order to protect against potential attacks. Additionally, it is recommended to monitor server logs for any suspicious activity, as well as to restrict access to the server to trusted users only.
