FreeBSD : jenkins -- HTTP/2 denial of service vulnerability in bundled Jetty (2e3bea0c-f110-11ee-bc57-00e081b7aa2d)

high Nessus Plugin ID 192884

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 2e3bea0c-f110-11ee-bc57-00e081b7aa2d advisory.

- 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

Update the affected packages.
