Debian DLA-1020-1 : jetty security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 101321

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that Jetty, a Java servlet engine and webserver, was vulnerable to a timing attack which might reveal cryptographic credentials such as passwords to a local user.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 6.1.26-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jetty packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected jetty package.
