Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Undertow's undertow-core package, versions 2.3.0.Alpha1 up to but not including 2.3.14.Final and versions before 2.2.33.Final, is affected when handling URL-encoded request paths on the AJP listener. Under concurrent requests, a shared decoding buffer can mix up paths, so the server may act on the wrong path, producing errors such as 404 responses or application failures. The source does not describe what an attacker must do to trigger this, and it notes a possible denial of service. Upgrade undertow-core to 2.3.14.Final or 2.2.33.Final.
