Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-8384

medium Nessus Plugin ID 327131

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- In Eclipse Jetty, an HTTP URI of this form: /public;/../admin/secret.txt results in an unresolved path of:
/public/../admin/secret.txt instead of the expected: /admin/secret.txt Jetty itself is not affected, as it will not serve the secret.txt file because it will not pass the alias checker (only resolved resources are served). However, web applications that rely on resolved paths being provided by Jetty may be confused when receiving an unresolved path. (CVE-2026-8384)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
