Descriptions

Applications that parse ETags from "If-Match" or "If-None-Match" request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack.

Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version.

Users of older, unsupported versions could enforce a size limit on "If-Match" and "If-None-Match" headers, e.g. through a Filter.

A flaw was found in the Spring Web (org.springframework:spring-web) package. Due to improper ETag prefix validation when the application parses ETags from the `If-Match` or `If-None-Match` request headers, an attacker can trigger a denial of service by sending a maliciously crafted conditional HTTP request.
