Error when X-forwarded-For header contains ipv6 address with leading zeroes

When undertow receives an X-Forwarded-For header that contains an ipv6 address, this ip v6 address is parsed by the 

io.undertow.util.NetworkUtils.parseIpv6AddressToBytes() method.

This method rejects ipv6 addresses that contains leading zeroes.

For example, this address is considered valid:

2001:DB8:0:CD30:123:4567:89AB:CDEF

while this one is considered as invalid:

2001:0DB8:0:CD30:0123:4567:89AB:CDEF

This behaviour is implemented here:

https://github.com/undertow-io/undertow/blob/7133a92424efc328ab9300e5df6df967a9dd9d69/core/src/main/java/io/undertow/util/NetworkUtils.java#L121

Yet, by looking at the RFC 4291, we can read that 

"it is not necessary to write the leading zeros" (see section 2.2 here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4291)

So, to my understanding, ipv6 with leading zeroes should not be rejected by the ipv6 parser of undertow.
