Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.springframework:spring-core | >= 6.1.2, < 6.1.3 | 6.1.3 |

Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
In Spring Framework versions 6.0.15 and 6.1.2, it is possible for a user to provide specially crafted HTTP requests that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
Specifically, an application is vulnerable when all of the following are true:
* the application uses Spring MVC
* Spring Security 6.1.6+ or 6.2.1+ is on the classpath
Typically, Spring Boot applications need the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web and org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security dependencies to meet all conditions.
