Description
Impact
The Headers.set() and Headers.append() methods are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks when untrusted values are passed into the functions. This is due to the inefficient regular expression used to normalize the values in the headerValueNormalize() utility function.
Patches
This vulnerability was patched in v5.19.1.
Workarounds
There is no workaround. Please update to an unaffected version.
