Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper handling of JSP requests containing reserved DOS device names. The JspServlet's service method is the primary entry point for JSP processing in Tomcat. While no patch details are available, historical context suggests this method would be responsible for filename resolution before file access operations. The lack of validation for reserved names in this function would directly lead to the described resource consumption scenario on Windows systems.
