CWE-444

Description

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.

Affected configurations

• redhat undertow • redhat jboss enterprise application platform 7.0.0 • redhat jboss enterprise application platform 7.1.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • debian debian linux 10.0
