Jenkins LTS < 2.440.2 / Jenkins weekly < 2.444

high Nessus Plugin ID 192307

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by a vulnerability

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins LTS prior to 2.440.2 or Jenkins weekly prior to 2.444. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

 - Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. An HTTP/2 SSL connection that is established and TCP congested will be leaked when it times out. An attacker can cause many connections to end up in this state, and the server may run out of file descriptors, eventually causing the server to stop accepting new connections from valid clients. The vulnerability is patched in 9.4.54, 10.0.20, 11.0.20, and 12.0.6.
 (CVE-2024-22201)

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

Solution

Upgrade Jenkins weekly to version 2.444 or later, or Jenkins LTS to version 2.440.2 or later.
