CVE-2024-13009
Description
A flaw was found in Eclipse Jetty. This vulnerability allows corrupted and inadvertent data sharing between requests via a gzip error when inflating a request body. If the request body is malformed, the gzip decompression process can fail, resulting in the application inadvertently using data from a previous request when processing the current one.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated as an IMPORTANT severity because a buffer management vulnerability exists within the GzipHandler's buffer release mechanism when encountering gzip errors during request body inflation, this flaw can lead to the incorrect release and subsequent inadvertent sharing and corruption of request body data between concurrent uncompressed requests, results in data exposure and incorrect processing of requests due to corrupted input.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability,Other
Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (Other); Varies by Context
Most unreleased resource issues result in general software reliability problems, but if an attacker can intentionally trigger a resource leak, the attacker might be able to launch a denial of service attack by depleting the resource pool.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
When a resource containing sensitive information is not correctly shutdown, it may expose the sensitive data in a subsequent allocation.
