CVE-2017-7658: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests (HTTP Request Smuggling)
(updated )
If an intermediary decided on the shorter length, but still passed on the longer body, then body content could be interpreted by Jetty as a pipelined request. If the intermediary was imposing authorization, the fake pipelined request would bypass that authorization.
