NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream undertow package and not the undertow package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

It was discovered that Undertow before 1.4.17, 1.3.31 and 2.0.0 processes http request headers with unusual whitespaces which can cause possible http request smuggling.
