Jetty < 9.4.33 Local Temp Directory Hijacking

Synopsis

Jetty < 9.4.33 Local Temp Directory Hijacking

Description

The version of Jetty installed on the remote host suffers from a potential race condition when creating temporary sub directories. If an co-located attacker wins the race, then they will have read/write privilege to the subdirectory used to unpack web applications, potentially leading to a local privilege escalation vulnerability. Note that the scanner has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Jetty version 9.4.33 or later.
