Applications that parse ETags from "If-Match" or "If-None-Match" request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack.
Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version.
Users of older, unsupported versions could enforce a size limit on "If-Match" and "If-None-Match" headers, e.g. through a Filter.
