Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-11-01 19:13:52 UTC 
CVE-2021-41973:

In Apache MINA, a specifically crafted, malformed HTTP request may cause the HTTP Header decoder to loop indefinitely. The decoder assumed that the HTTP Header begins at the beginning of the buffer and loops if there is more data than expected. Please update MINA to 2.1.5 or greater.

Fixed in 2.0.22 and 2.1.5, please bump.

Only an infinite loop, no glsa.
