Package : jetty9
Version : 9.4.16-0+deb10u3
CVE ID : CVE-2023-26048 CVE-2023-26049 CVE-2023-36479 CVE-2023-40167
Multiple security vulnerabilities were found in Jetty, a Java based web server
and servlet engine.
The org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI class has been deprecated. It is potentially
unsafe to use it. The upstream developers of Jetty recommend to use Fast CGI
instead. See also CVE-2023-36479.
CVE-2023-26048
In affected versions servlets with multipart support (e.g. annotated with
`@MultipartConfig`) that call `HttpServletRequest.getParameter()` or
`HttpServletRequest.getParts()` may cause `OutOfMemoryError` when the
client sends a multipart request with a part that has a name but no
filename and very large content. This happens even with the default
settings of `fileSizeThreshold=0` which should stream the whole part
content to disk.
CVE-2023-26049
Nonstandard cookie parsing in Jetty may allow an attacker to smuggle
cookies within other cookies, or otherwise perform unintended behavior by
tampering with the cookie parsing mechanism.
CVE-2023-40167
Prior to this version Jetty accepted the `+` character proceeding the
content-length value in a HTTP/1 header field. This is more permissive than
allowed by the RFC and other servers routinely reject such requests with
400 responses. There is no known exploit scenario, but it is conceivable
that request smuggling could result if jetty is used in combination with a
server that does not close the connection after sending such a 400
response.
CVE-2023-36479
Users of the CgiServlet with a very specific command structure may have the
wrong command executed. If a user sends a request to a
org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet for a binary with a space in its
name, the servlet will escape the command by wrapping it in quotation
marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional command prefix, will then be
executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name
provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the
resulting command line will contain multiple tokens instead of one.
For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
9.4.16-0+deb10u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your jetty9 packages.
