In Eclipse Jetty 7.2.2 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.alpha0 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.alpha0 to 11.0.1, CPU usage can reach 100% upon receiving a large invalid TLS frame.

The versions of Oracle Siebel CRM installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2021 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel Core - Automation product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: Test Automation     (Eclipse Jetty)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.9 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to compromise Siebel Core -     Automation. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or     frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Siebel Core - Automation. (CVE-2021-28165)

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel UI Framework product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: EAI (Apache Tomcat)).
    Supported versions that are affected are 21.9 and prior. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Siebel UI Framework. Successful     attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all     Siebel UI Framework accessible data. (CVE-2021-25122)

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel UI Framework product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: EAI, SWSE (OpenSSL)).
    Supported versions that are affected are 21.9 and prior. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows     unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to compromise Siebel UI Framework. Successful attacks     of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Siebel     UI Framework accessible data. (CVE-2016-2183)

  - Vulnerability in the Siebel Apps - Marketing product of Oracle Siebel CRM (component: Marketing (Apache     Tomcat)). Supported versions that are affected are 21.9 and prior. Difficult to exploit vulnerability     allows low privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Siebel Apps - Marketing executes to     compromise Siebel Apps - Marketing. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of     Siebel Apps - Marketing. (CVE-2020-9484)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - jetty: crafted URIs allow bypassing security constraints (CVE-2021-34429)

  - In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.6.v20170531 to 9.4.36.v20210114 (inclusive), 10.0.0, and 11.0.0 when Jetty handles a     request containing multiple Accept headers with a large number of quality (i.e. q) parameters, the     server may enter a denial of service (DoS) state due to high CPU usage processing those quality values,     resulting in minutes of CPU time exhausted processing those quality values. (CVE-2020-27223)

  - In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.32 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.beta2 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.beta2 to 11.0.1, if a user uses a     webapps directory that is a symlink, the contents of the webapps directory is deployed as a static webapp,     inadvertently serving the webapps themselves and anything else that might be in that directory.
    (CVE-2021-28163)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The version of Jenkins Enterprise or Jenkins Operations Center running on the remote web server is 2.249.x prior to 2.249.31.0.1, or 2.x prior to 2.277.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to an issue with Winstone-Jetty. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by sending a large invalid SSL/TLS frame, to cause CPU usage to hit 100% and cause the system to stop responding.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Jetty hosted on the remote web server is prior to 9.4.39, 10.0.x prior to 10.0.2 or 11.0.x prior to 11.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - An issue where CPU usage can reach 100% with a large invalid TLS frame. (CVE-2021-28165)

 - A issue with permitting access to protected resources within the WEB-INF directory when accessed with encoded paths. (CVE-2021-28164)

 - An issue when a symlinked webapps directory is used, the contents of the webapps directory is deployed as a static webapp. (CVE-2021-28163)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:2005-1 advisory.

  - In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.32 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.beta2 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.beta2 to 11.0.1, if a user uses a     webapps directory that is a symlink, the contents of the webapps directory is deployed as a static webapp,     inadvertently serving the webapps themselves and anything else that might be in that directory.
    (CVE-2021-28163)

  - In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.37.v20210219 to 9.4.38.v20210224, the default compliance mode allows requests with     URIs that contain %2e or %2e%2e segments to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory. For     example a request to /context/%2e/WEB-INF/web.xml can retrieve the web.xml file. This can reveal sensitive     information regarding the implementation of a web application. (CVE-2021-28164)

  - In Eclipse Jetty 7.2.2 to 9.4.38, 10.0.0.alpha0 to 10.0.1, and 11.0.0.alpha0 to 11.0.1, CPU usage can     reach 100% upon receiving a large invalid TLS frame. (CVE-2021-28165)

  - For Eclipse Jetty versions <= 9.4.40, <= 10.0.2, <= 11.0.2, it is possible for requests to the     ConcatServlet with a doubly encoded path to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory. For     example a request to `/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml` can retrieve the web.xml file. This can reveal     sensitive information regarding the implementation of a web application. (CVE-2021-28169)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:2005-1 advisory.
