CWE ID 400

Summary

CVE-2024-1635 is a newly discovered vulnerability in Undertow that affects servers utilizing the wildfly-http-client protocol. Malicious users can exploit this issue by repeatedly opening and closing connections with the HTTP port, leading the server to exhaust both memory and open file limits. This occurs when the WriteTimeoutStreamSinkConduit in Undertow fails to properly handle closed connections during HTTP upgrade to remoting. The result is a leak of connections within the dependency tree, which in turn points to the Undertow conduit and causes memory leaks, potentially leading to server instability or crash.
