Machine-written summary

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

Jooby's jooby-netty module, versions before 2.2.1, is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting through CRLF sequences in HTTP headers. An attacker who can get user-supplied data into response headers could inject extra headers or content, which the advisory links to cross-site scripting, cache poisoning, and page hijacking. Upgrade to jooby-netty 2.2.1 or later. If upgrading is not possible, make sure user-supplied data cannot flow into HTTP headers, or strip CRLF characters from it first.
