How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 jetty to version 6.1.24-6ubuntu0.12.04.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jetty package and not the jetty package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Jetty 8.1.0.RC2 and earlier computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters.
