Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Undertow (io.undertow:undertow-core) versions before 2.2.36.Final, and from 2.3.0.Alpha1 before 2.3.17.Final, are affected. A race condition in the PROXY protocol v1 parsing reuses a shared StringBuilder across requests on the same connection, which can cause a value from one request to be reused in another and may expose data between them. The source gives few details on the exact conditions required to trigger it. Upgrade to 2.2.36.Final or 2.3.17.Final, or later.
