NVD Description

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

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.
