Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Versions 9.4.21 through 9.4.51, 10.0.15, and 11.0.15 are vulnerable to weak authentication. If a Jetty `OpenIdAuthenticator` uses the optional nested `LoginService`, and that `LoginService` decides to revoke an already authenticated user, then the current request will still treat the user as authenticated. The authentication is then cleared from the session and subsequent requests will not be treated as authenticated. So a request on a previously authenticated session could be allowed to bypass authentication after it had been rejected by the `LoginService`. This impacts usages of the jetty-openid which have configured a nested `LoginService` and where that `LoginService` will is capable of rejecting previously authenticated users. Versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, and 11.0.16 have a patch for this issue.

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is prior to 11.2.4 FP4 or 12.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7173592 advisory.

  - An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in formidable v3.1.4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via     a crafted filename. NOTE: some third parties dispute this issue because the product has common use cases     in which uploading arbitrary files is the desired behavior. Also, there are configuration options in all     versions that can change the default behavior of how files are handled. Strapi does not consider this to     be a valid vulnerability. (CVE-2022-29622)

  - Node.js IP package could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a     server-side request forgery flaw in the ip.isPublic() function. By sending a specially crafted request     using a hexadecimal representation of a private IP address, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability     to execute arbitrary code on the system and obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2023-42282)   
  - Multiple vendors are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in handling multiplexed streams     in the HTTP/2 protocol. By sending numerous HTTP/2 requests and RST_STREAM frames over multiple streams, a     remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service due to server resource     consumption. (CVE-2023-44487)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4210-1 advisory.

  - Eclipse Jetty provides a web server and servlet container. In versions 11.0.0 through 11.0.15, 10.0.0     through 10.0.15, and 9.0.0 through 9.4.52, an integer overflow in `MetaDataBuilder.checkSize` allows for     HTTP/2 HPACK header values to exceed their size limit. `MetaDataBuilder.java` determines if a header name     or value exceeds the size limit, and throws an exception if the limit is exceeded. However, when length is     very large and huffman is true, the multiplication by 4 in line 295 will overflow, and length will become     negative. `(_size+length)` will now be negative, and the check on line 296 will not be triggered.
    Furthermore, `MetaDataBuilder.checkSize` allows for user-entered HPACK header value sizes to be negative,     potentially leading to a very large buffer allocation later on when the user-entered size is multiplied by     2. This means that if a user provides a negative length value (or, more precisely, a length value which,     when multiplied by the 4/3 fudge factor, is negative), and this length value is a very large positive     number when multiplied by 2, then the user can cause a very large buffer to be allocated on the server.
    Users of HTTP/2 can be impacted by a remote denial of service attack. The issue has been fixed in versions     11.0.16, 10.0.16, and 9.4.53. There are no known workarounds. (CVE-2023-36478)

  - Eclipse Jetty Canonical Repository is the canonical repository for the Jetty project. 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. This issue was patched in version 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16 and 12.0.0-beta2.
    (CVE-2023-36479)

  - Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Prior to versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16, and     12.0.1, Jetty accepts 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. Versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16, and 12.0.1 contain a patch for this issue. There is no     workaround as there is no known exploit scenario. (CVE-2023-40167)

  - The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation     can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-44487)

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5507 advisory.

  - Jetty is a java based web server and servlet engine. 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. An attacker client     may send a large multipart request and cause the server to throw `OutOfMemoryError`. However, the server     may be able to recover after the `OutOfMemoryError` and continue its service -- although it may take some     time. This issue has been patched in versions 9.4.51, 10.0.14, and 11.0.14. Users are advised to upgrade.
    Users unable to upgrade may set the multipart parameter `maxRequestSize` which must be set to a non-     negative value, so the whole multipart content is limited (although still read into memory).
    (CVE-2023-26048)

  - Jetty is a java based web server and servlet engine. 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. If Jetty sees a cookie VALUE that starts with `` (double quote), it     will continue to read the cookie string until it sees a closing quote -- even if a semicolon is     encountered. So, a cookie header such as: `DISPLAY_LANGUAGE=b; JSESSIONID=1337; c=d` will be parsed as     one cookie, with the name DISPLAY_LANGUAGE and a value of b; JSESSIONID=1337; c=d instead of 3 separate     cookies. This has security implications because if, say, JSESSIONID is an HttpOnly cookie, and the     DISPLAY_LANGUAGE cookie value is rendered on the page, an attacker can smuggle the JSESSIONID cookie into     the DISPLAY_LANGUAGE cookie and thereby exfiltrate it. This is significant when an intermediary is     enacting some policy based on cookies, so a smuggled cookie can bypass that policy yet still be seen by     the Jetty server or its logging system. This issue has been addressed in versions 9.4.51, 10.0.14,     11.0.14, and 12.0.0.beta0 and users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
