What is CVE-2022-37034?

The vulnerability in DotCMS versions 5.x-22.06 allows multiple calls to the TempResource, which can lead to excessive requests for large file downloads. As the server processes these repeated demands, it experiences request-thread exhaustion in Tomcat, resulting in an inability to handle additional requests efficiently. This can lead to service disruptions for legitimate users, affecting overall server availability and functionality.
