Jenkins LTS < 2.361.1 / Jenkins weekly < 2.363

high Nessus Plugin ID 164898

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by a vulnerability

Description

According to its its self-reported version number, the version of Jenkins running on the remote web server is Jenkins LTS prior to 2.361.1 or Jenkins weekly prior to 2.363. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

 - In Eclipse Jetty HTTP/2 server implementation, when encountering an invalid HTTP/2 request, the error handling has a bug that can wind up not properly cleaning up the active connections and associated resources. This can lead to a Denial of Service scenario where there are no enough resources left to process good requests. (CVE-2022-2048)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade Jenkins weekly to version 2.363 or later, or Jenkins LTS to version 2.361.1 or later.
