NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kayenta-fips-2025.4 package and not the kayenta-fips-2025.4 package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
