Descriptions

Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. An HTTP/2 SSL connection that is established and TCP congested will be leaked when it times out. An attacker can cause many connections to end up in this state, and the server may run out of file descriptors, eventually causing the server to stop accepting new connections from valid clients. The vulnerability is patched in 9.4.54, 10.0.20, 11.0.20, and 12.0.6.

Jetty es un servidor web y motor de servlet basado en Java. Una conexión SSL HTTP/2 que esté establecida y TCP congestionada se filtrará cuando expire el tiempo de espera. Un atacante puede provocar que muchas conexiones terminen en este estado y que el servidor se quede sin descriptores de archivos, lo que eventualmente provocará que el servidor deje de aceptar nuevas conexiones de clientes válidos. La vulnerabilidad está parcheada en 9.4.54, 10.0.20, 11.0.20 y 12.0.6.
