Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for undertow.

CVE-2024-1635[0]:
| A vulnerability was found in Undertow. This vulnerability impacts a
| server that supports the wildfly-http-client protocol. Whenever a
| malicious user opens and closes a connection with the HTTP port of
| the server and then closes the connection immediately, the server
| will end with both memory and open file limits exhausted at some
| point, depending on the amount of memory available. At HTTP
| upgrade to remoting, the WriteTimeoutStreamSinkConduit leaks
| connections if RemotingConnection is closed by Remoting
| ServerConnectionOpenListener. Because the remoting connection
| originates in Undertow as part of the HTTP upgrade, there is an
| external layer to the remoting connection. This connection is
| unaware of the outermost layer when closing the connection during
| the connection opening procedure. Hence, the Undertow
| WriteTimeoutStreamSinkConduit is not notified of the closed
| connection in this scenario. Because WriteTimeoutStreamSinkConduit
| creates a timeout task, the whole dependency tree leaks via that
| task, which is added to XNIO WorkerThread. So, the workerThread
| points to the Undertow conduit, which contains the connections and
| causes the leak.
