CVE-2010-2227 is an improper input-handling vulnerability in Apache Tomcat's processing of invalid HTTP Transfer-Encoding headers. Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.29, 6.0.0 through 6.0.27, and 7.0.0 beta may fail to recycle a request buffer after receiving a crafted invalid header. The resulting stale buffer state can disrupt subsequent request handling or expose data across requests.

This repository is the official Metasploit Framework, a comprehensive and modular exploitation platform widely used for penetration testing, vulnerability research, and red teaming. The structure includes configuration files, Ruby application code, data files for exploits (including CVE-specific resources), and auxiliary tools. The framework supports a vast array of exploits, payloads, and auxiliary modules targeting network services, operating systems, and applications. It provides weaponized exploitation capabilities, including remote code execution, privilege escalation, credential harvesting, and post-exploitation modules. The repository contains both the core framework and data files for specific exploits (e.g., CVE-2008-6508, CVE-2010-1240, CVE-2012-0013), as well as configuration files for database and service integration. The main attack vectors are both network-based and local, depending on the selected module. The framework is highly mature and operational, with extensive documentation and support for custom module development.
This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting Apache Tomcat servers vulnerable to CVE-2010-2227. The exploit abuses improper handling of the 'Transfer-Encoding' HTTP header to cause a denial of service (DoS) or potentially leak sensitive information. The module sends multiple crafted HTTP POST requests with an invalid 'Transfer-Encoding: buffered' header and a large Content-Length to the target server, aiming to crash the service or disrupt its operation. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with configurable options for the target port and number of requests. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the HTTP service of Apache Tomcat. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the target is specified by the user at runtime.
