Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Dump Servlet in Mortbay Jetty before 6.1.6rc1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified parameters and cookies.

Mortbay Jetty before 6.1.6rc1 does not properly handle 'certain quote sequences' in HTML cookie parameters, which allows remote attackers to hijack browser sessions via unspecified vectors.

CRLF injection vulnerability in Mortbay Jetty before 6.1.6rc0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via unspecified vectors.

The remote instance of Mort Bay Jetty includes a test servlet, 'webapps/test/jsp/dump.jsp', that fails to sanitize user-supplied input before using it to generate dynamic content.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site. 

Similar issues reportedly exist with the 'webapps/snoop.jsp'' servlet as well as Jetty itself, although Nessus did not check for them.

The remote host is running Jetty, a Java web server that can be downloaded off the Internet and is currently bundled with some IBM applications.  This version of Jetty is vulnerable to a remote flaw in the way that it handles cookie quotes.  An attacker exploiting this flaw would be able to hijack the session of valid users without authentication.  Further, this version of Jetty is vulnerable to a flaw in the way that it handles Carriage-Return/Line-Feed characters.  An attacker can exploit this flaw to inject malicious HTTP headers into a session.  This version of Jetty is also vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack that would allow an attacker to possibly retrieve sensitive data from client browsers.
