CVE-2011-5034 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Apache Geronimo 2.2.1 and earlier, where the server is susceptible to hash collision attacks. By sending numerous crafted form parameters, remote attackers can trigger excessive CPU consumption, leading to a denial of service. This vulnerability has a high CVSS score of 7.8, indicating a critical severity due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete availability impact. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, there is a Metasploit module available for hashtable collisions, and its FAUCET Risk Score is 99/100, suggesting a high potential for exploitation despite limited public discussion or media coverage.
