NewCVE-2024-7708 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server to version 10.0.23, 11.0.23 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 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime through the request-body read path in HttpConnection.java. An attacker can exhaust heap memory by sending requests with a body that is repeatedly read as 0 bytes, especially Expect: 100-Continue requests or other slow body uploads. When the endpoint fill operation returns 0, the request buffer is retained instead of being released, so repeated requests accumulate unreclaimed buffers on the server. This lets a remote client drive the server into an out-of-memory condition, causing request handling to stall or fail.
