How to fix?

Upgrade org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server to version 12.0.32, 12.1.6 or higher.

Overview

org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server is a lightweight highly scalable java based web server and servlet engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the GzipHandler process when handling a compressed HTTP request with Content-Encoding: gzip and the response is not deflated (no Accept-Encoding: gzip). An attacker can cause resource exhaustion by sending specially crafted requests that trigger repeated allocation of JDK Inflater objects without proper release.
