Synopsis

The remote host contains a web application framework that is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains a Spring Framework version prior to 5.3.39, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.23, or 6.1.x prior to 6.1.12.
It is, therefore, affected by an HTTP Request DoS vulnerability:

 - Applications that parse ETags from 'If-Match' or 'If-None-Match' request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack.
 (CVE-2024-38809)
