TL;DR

A flaw was found in Undertow where a remote attacker could terminate the HTTP header block using \r\r\r instead of a standard delimiter. In environments using certain proxy servers, including older versions of Apache Traffic Server and Google Cloud Classic Application Load Balancer, this could enable HTTP request smuggling, potentially resulting in unauthorized access, request desynchronization, or manipulation of downstream web requests.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
