Summary
A flaw was found in Undertow where malformed client requests can trigger server-side stream resets without triggering abuse counters. This issue, referred to as the "MadeYouReset" attack, allows malicious clients to induce excessive server workload by repeatedly causing server-side stream aborts.
While not a protocol bug, this highlights a common implementation weakness that can be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS). This vulnerability is rated with an Important severity.
It is simple to exploit because it does not require authentication and could result in a Denial of Service (DoS). While some DoS flaws are classified as Moderate, “MadeYouReset” is Important because of the limited barriers (no specialized tooling or advanced scripting) to exploitation, which directly impacts service availability.
Since these resets consume CPU and memory resources and can be generated at scale over a single TCP/TLS connection, a remote attacker could exhaust server capacity quickly, impacting all legitimate clients. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-770.
Is CVE-2025-9784 exploited?
No exploitation is reported in the sources VulniPulse tracks: CVE-2025-9784 is not in the CISA KEV catalog (checked ) and this advisory does not report exploitation. That is not proof the vulnerability cannot be exploited.
