Eclipse Jetty Request Processing Vulnerabilities

Eclipse Jetty 12.0.0 through 12.0.31 and 12.1.0 through 12.1.5 suffer from a denial-of-service vulnerability in GzipHandler where decompressor resources leak when processing gzip-compressed requests that generate uncompressed responses. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory by repeatedly sending compressed requests, causing service degradation or unavailability. No patch is currently available.

The Jetty URI parser has some key differences to other common parsers when evaluating invalid or unusual URIs. Differential parsing of URIs in systems using multiple components may result in security by-pass. [CVSS 3.7 LOW]
