Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for undertow.

CVE-2024-5971[0]:
| A vulnerability was found in Undertow, where the chunked response
| hangs after the body was flushed. The response headers and body were
| sent but the client would continue waiting as Undertow does not send
| the expected 0\r\n termination of the chunked response. This results
| in uncontrolled resource consumption, leaving the server side to a
| denial of service attack. This happens only with Java 17 TLSv1.3
| scenarios.
