SCA: security update for io.undertow:undertow-core (GHSA-xpp6-8r3j-ww43)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421363

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - 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.
 (CVE-2024-5971)
