SCA: security update for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server (GHSA-84q7-p226-4x5w)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422329

Description

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

- In Eclipse Jetty, versions 9.2.x and older, 9.3.x (all configurations), and 9.4.x (non-default
configuration with RFC2616 compliance enabled), HTTP/0.9 is handled poorly. An HTTP/1 style request line
(i.e. method space URI space version) that declares a version of HTTP/0.9 was accepted and treated as a
0.9 request. If deployed behind an intermediary that also accepted and passed through the 0.9 version (but
did not act on it), then the response sent could be interpreted by the intermediary as HTTP/1 headers.
This could be used to poison the cache if the server allowed the origin client to generate arbitrary
content in the response. (CVE-2017-7656)
