Description
In Spring Boot versions 2.7.0 - 2.7.17, 3.0.0-3.0.12 and 3.1.0-3.1.5, it is possible for a user to provide specially crafted HTTP requests that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
Specifically, an application is vulnerable when all of the following are true:
- the application uses Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux
- org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-actuator is on the classpath

Red Hat Single Sign-On provides Spring Boot adapters, but does not provide the affected code and is not affected by this flaw.
