There exists a security vulnerability in Jetty's ThreadLimitHandler.getRemote() which can be exploited by unauthorized users to cause remote denial-of-service (DoS) attack. By repeatedly sending crafted requests, attackers can trigger OutofMemory errors and exhaust the server's memory.

The versions of Oracle Database Server installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2025 CPU advisory.

  - Security-in-Depth issue in the Oracle Database Grid (Apache Tomcat) component of Oracle Database     Server. This vulnerability cannot be exploited in the context of this product. (CVE-2025-24813)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Database (OpenSSL) component of Oracle Database Server.  Supported versions     that are affected are 23.4-23.7. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows physical access to compromise     Oracle Database (OpenSSL).  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of Oracle Database (OpenSSL) accessible data as well as  unauthorized read     access to a subset of Oracle Database (OpenSSL) accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial     denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Database (OpenSSL). CVSS 3.1 Base Score 4.3 (Confidentiality,     Integrity and Availability impacts). (CVE-2024-9143)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Database SQLCl (EdDSA) component of Oracle Database Server.  Supported versions     that are affected are 23.4-23.7. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon     to the infrastructure where Oracle Database SQLCl (EdDSA) executes to compromise Oracle Database SQLCl     (EdDSA).  While the vulnerability is in Oracle Database SQLCl (EdDSA), attacks may significantly impact     additional products (scope change).  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized     update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Database SQLCl (EdDSA) accessible data. (CVE-2020-36843)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Database (OpenSSL) component of Oracle Database Server.  Supported versions     that are affected are 23.4-23.7. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows physical access to compromise     Oracle Database (OpenSSL).  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in  unauthorized update,     insert or delete access to some of Oracle Database (OpenSSL) accessible data as well as  unauthorized     read access to a subset of Oracle Database (OpenSSL) accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause     a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle Database (OpenSSL). (CVE-2022-3786)

    Package        : jetty9     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-6762 CVE-2024-8184 CVE-2024-9823     Debian Bug     : 1085697

    Jetty 9 is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Several security     vulnerabilities have been discovered which may allow remote attackers to cause     a denial of service by repeatedly sending crafted requests which can trigger     OutofMemory errors and exhaust the server's memory.

    CVE-2024-6762: In addition PushSessionCacheFilter and PushCacheFilter have been     deprecated. These classes should no longer be used in a production environment.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 9.4.57-0+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your jetty9 packages.

    For the detailed security status of jetty9 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/jetty9
