CVE-2017-9735  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-200  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 jetty to version 6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2 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:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Jetty through 9.4.x is prone to a timing channel in util/security/Password.java, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by observing elapsed times before rejection of incorrect passwords.
