Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Description
Applications that parse ETags from `If-Match` or `If-None-Match` request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack.
### Affected Spring Products and Versions
org.springframework:spring-web in versions
6.1.0 through 6.1.11
6.0.0 through 6.0.22
5.3.0 through 5.3.37
Older, unsupported versions are also affected
### Mitigation
Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version.
6.1.x -> 6.1.12
6.0.x -> 6.0.23
5.3.x -> 5.3.38
No other mitigation steps are necessary.
Users of older, unsupported versions could enforce a size limit on `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` headers, e.g. through a Filter.
