CVE-2024-22201  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade org.eclipse.jetty.http2:http2-common to version 9.4.54, 10.0.20, 11.0.20 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption ('Resource Exhaustion') due to the handling of idle timeouts under TCP congestion conditions. An attacker can cause the server to exhaust file descriptors and stop accepting new connections from legitimate clients by inducing a state where multiple connections remain open, congested and idle.

Notes:

  1. The client may also be impacted, if the server does not read causing a TCP congestion, but the issue is more severe for servers.

  2. HTTP/1.x is not affected.

Workaround

Disable HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support until you can upgrade to a patched version of Jetty.
