NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream undertow package and not the undertow package as distributed by Debian.

It was found that the AJP connector in undertow, as shipped in Jboss EAP 7.1.0.GA, does not use the ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH option and thus allow the the slash / anti-slash characters encoded in the url which may lead to path traversal and result in the information disclosure of arbitrary local files.
