HTTP: POST Submission Missing Data
This signature detects a POST submission that does not include the POST data in the first packet payload. This may be an indication of a Denial of Service (DoS) using the 'Slowloris' technique. It also may be a non-malicious submission with a low MTU.
Extended Description
Apache Tomcat 6.x before 6.0.37 and 7.x before 7.0.30 does not properly handle chunk extensions in chunked transfer coding, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by streaming data.
