Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Timing Attacks. A flaw in the util/security/Password.java class makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by observing elapsed times before rejection of incorrect passwords.
