Machine-written summary

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

Affected are the http4s-ember-core packages for Scala 2.12, 2.13 and 3 (Maven org.http4s), with versions below 0.23.35 and, for 2.13 and 3, versions from 1.0.0-M1 up to but not including 1.0.0-M47. Upgrade to 0.23.35 or 1.0.0-M47 as applicable. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send chunked requests with malformed chunk sizes that an intermediary parses differently, enabling request smuggling when ember-server sits behind a keep-alive proxy. The source describes a workaround: configure the intermediary to reject malformed chunk sizes or to re-encode request bodies.
