MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.85%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.85%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Applications that parse ETags from "If-Match" or "If-None-Match" request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack. Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version. Users of older, unsupported versions could enforce a size limit on "If-Match" and "If-None-Match" headers, e.g. through a Filter.
