Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Undertow (io.undertow:undertow-core) versions before 2.2.38.Final, and from 2.3.0.Alpha1 before 2.3.20.Final, are affected. A remote client can send malformed HTTP/2 requests that cause repeated server-side stream resets without tripping abuse counters, forcing excessive server workload and a denial of service. Upgrade to 2.2.38.Final or 2.3.20.Final.
