Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Spring Framework's spring-web package is vulnerable to denial of service in versions 5.3.0 through 5.3.37, 6.0.0 through 6.0.22, and 6.1.0 through 6.1.11. The issue affects applications that parse ETags from If-Match or If-None-Match request headers, and an attacker can exploit it by sending crafted requests over the network. Upgrade to 5.3.38, 6.0.23, or 6.1.12, depending on your version line. Older unsupported versions have no fix; limiting the size of these headers with a filter is a possible workaround.
