Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-24 18:34 – Updated: 2025-02-21 15:15Description
Applications that parse ETags from If-Match or If-None-Match request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack.
Affected Spring Products and Versions
org.springframework:spring-web in versions
6.1.0 through 6.1.11 6.0.0 through 6.0.22 5.3.0 through 5.3.37
Older, unsupported versions are also affected
Mitigation
Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version. 6.1.x -> 6.1.12 6.0.x -> 6.0.23 5.3.x -> 5.3.38 No other mitigation steps are necessary.
Users of older, unsupported versions could enforce a size limit on If-Match and If-None-Match headers, e.g. through a Filter.
