NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream eap7-resteasy-async-http-servlet-3.0 package and not the eap7-resteasy-async-http-servlet-3.0 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

It was discovered in Undertow that the code that parsed the HTTP request line permitted invalid characters. This could be exploited, in conjunction with a proxy that also permitted the invalid characters but with a different interpretation, to inject data into the HTTP response. By manipulating the HTTP response the attacker could poison a web-cache, perform an XSS attack, or obtain sensitive information from requests other than their own.
