Package : jetty9 CVE ID : CVE-2024-6762 CVE-2024-8184 CVE-2024-9823 Debian Bug : 1085697

Jetty 9 is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered which may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by repeatedly sending crafted requests which can trigger OutofMemory errors and exhaust the server's memory.

CVE-2024-6762: In addition PushSessionCacheFilter and PushCacheFilter have been deprecated. These classes should no longer be used in a production environment.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 9.4.57-0+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jetty9 packages.

For the detailed security status of jetty9 please refer to its security tracker page at:
