SCA: security update for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server (GHSA-qw69-rqj8-6qw8)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418357

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Jetty is a java based web server and servlet engine. In affected versions servlets with multipart support
 (e.g. annotated with `@MultipartConfig`) that call `HttpServletRequest.getParameter()` or
 `HttpServletRequest.getParts()` may cause `OutOfMemoryError` when the client sends a multipart request
 with a part that has a name but no filename and very large content. This happens even with the default
 settings of `fileSizeThreshold=0` which should stream the whole part content to disk. An attacker client
 may send a large multipart request and cause the server to throw `OutOfMemoryError`. However, the server
 may be able to recover after the `OutOfMemoryError` and continue its service -- although it may take some
 time. This issue has been patched in versions 9.4.51, 10.0.14, and 11.0.14. Users are advised to upgrade.
 Users unable to upgrade may set the multipart parameter `maxRequestSize` which must be set to a non-
 negative value, so the whole multipart content is limited (although still read into memory).
