CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable undertow to version 1.4.25-1 or higher.

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 found that URLResource.getLastModified() in Undertow closes the file descriptors only when they are finalized which can cause file descriptors to exhaust. This leads to a file handler leak.
