CVEID: CVE-2021-28169
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the ConcatServlet. By sending a specially-crafted request using a doubly encoded path, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from protected resources within the WEB-INF directory, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/203492 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2021-28165
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input valistion. By sending a specially-crafted TLS frame, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause CPU resources to reach to 100% usage.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/199305 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2017-7658
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw when handling more than one Content-Length headers. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145522 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2017-7657
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper handling of Chunked Transfer-Encoding chunk size. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145521 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2021-41033
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Equinox is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack, caused by the use unencrypted HTTP communication in p2 repos. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch a man-in-the-middle attack and gain access to the communication channel between endpoints to alter the local installation, and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/209186 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2021-34428
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty could allow a physical attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a session ID is not invalidated flaw when an exception is thrown from the SessionListener#sessionDestroyed() method. By gaining access to the application on the shared computer, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass access restrictions.
CVSS Base score: 3.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/204227 for the current score.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
