medium Nessus Plugin ID 149318

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for rh-eclipse-jetty.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:1509 advisory.

Jetty is a 100% Java HTTP Server and Servlet Container.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-eclipse-jetty (9.4.40).

Security Fix(es):

* jetty: Symlink directory exposes webapp directory contents (CVE-2021-28163)

* jetty: Ambiguous paths can access WEB-INF (CVE-2021-28164)

* jetty: Resource exhaustion when receiving an invalid large TLS frame (CVE-2021-28165)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the RHEL rh-eclipse-jetty package based on the guidance in RHSA-2021:1509.
