Machine-written summary

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

Spring Security's spring-security-web package is affected in versions 5.7.0 through 5.7.21, 5.8.0 through 5.8.23, 6.3.0 through 6.3.14, 6.4.0 through 6.4.14, 6.5.0 through 6.5.8, and 7.0.0 through 7.0.3. In these versions, HTTP response headers that applications configure for servlet applications may not be written under some conditions. The source gives few details about how an attacker would trigger this or what impact it has, though it is rated critical. Upgrade spring-security-web to 6.5.9 or 7.0.4, or to a later release in your line.
