CVE-2024-38809 (GCVE-0-2024-38809)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-09-27 16:39 – Updated: 2024-09-27 19:19
VLAI
Summary
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.
Severity
