Overview

org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-http is an is a http module for jetty server.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling in the chunked request parsing of HttpParser, which accepts a lone LF, rather than CRLF, as the line terminator for chunk extensions, chunk data, and trailers. An attacker can make Jetty and an intermediary proxy interpret different request boundaries, smuggling a request past the proxy, by sending an HTTP/1.1 chunked request whose chunk or trailer terminators use a bare LF. This requires a front-end proxy that parses the chunk framing differently from Jetty, and the exact LF handling depends on the configured HTTP compliance mode.
