CVE-2021-28163
Description
If the ${jetty.base} directory or the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory is a symlink the contents of the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory may be deployed as a static web application, exposing the content of the directory for download. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.
Statement
In OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), the hive/presto/hadoop components that comprise the OCP metering stack, ship the vulnerable version of jetty. Since the release of OCP 4.6, the metering product has been deprecated [1], hence the affected components are marked as wontfix. This may be fixed in the future.
Red Hat OpenStack Platform's OpenDaylight will not be updated for this flaw because it was deprecated as of OpenStack Platform 14 and is only receiving security fixes for Important and Critical flaws.
Red Hat CodeReady Studio 12 is not affected by this vulnerability because it does not ship a vulnerable version of jetty.
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).
