Synopsis

Jetty 10.0.x < 10.0.1 Denial of Service

Description

The version of Jetty installed on the remote host handles a request containing request headers with a large number of quality (i.e. q) parameters, the server may enter a denial of service (DoS) state due to high CPU usage. Note that the scanner has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Jetty version 10.0.1 or later.
