Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Eclipse Jetty. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) by sending specially crafted HTTP requests. Specifically, a buffer leak occurs when processing requests that have a body but read zero bytes, such as 100-Continue requests, or during slow network conditions. This can lead to resource exhaustion and make the server unavailable.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-14 10:01:51 UTC
For requests that have a body, but reading the body may end up in reading 0 bytes, there is a buffer leak.
This is particularly the case for 100-Continue, but any request where the network is slow can leak.
