How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable undertow to version 1.4.22-1 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 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.
