HIGH 7.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2024-7708 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting jetty. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

For requests that have a body, but reading the body may end up in reading 0 bytes, there is a buffer leak. This is particularly the case for 100-Continue, but any request where the network is slow can leak.

Why this priority

High severity
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.

eclipse jetty UPGRADE

Affected: >= 10.0.7 and < 10.0.23 · >= 11.0.7 and < 11.0.23

Fixed in: 10.0.23, 11.0.23

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 10.0.7

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy jetty || rpm -q jetty || jetty --version

2. UPGRADE to 10.0.23 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade jetty

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade jetty

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 10.0.7 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison jetty sudo apt install jetty=<VERSION_BEFORE_10.0.7> sudo apt-mark hold jetty

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list jetty sudo dnf downgrade jetty-<VERSION_BEFORE_10.0.7> sudo dnf versionlock add jetty

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
