Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Jetty that permits a plus sign (+) preceding the content-length value in a HTTP/1 header field, which is non-standard and more permissive than RFC. This issue could allow an attacker to request smuggling in conjunction with a server that does not close connections after 400 responses.

Description Pedro Sampaio 2023-09-19 13:49:17 UTC 
Jetty is a Java based web server and servlet engine. Prior to versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16, and 12.0.1, Jetty accepts the `+` character proceeding the content-length value in a HTTP/1 header field.  This is more permissive than allowed by the RFC and other servers routinely reject such requests with 400 responses.  There is no known exploit scenario, but it is conceivable that request smuggling could result if jetty is used in combination with a server that does not close the connection after sending such a 400 response. Versions 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16, and 12.0.1 contain a patch for this issue. There is no workaround as there is no known exploit scenario.
