What is CVE-2024-22201?

A vulnerability exists in Jetty, a popular Java-based web server and servlet engine, where an established HTTP/2 SSL connection can leak due to TCP congestion timeout. If an attacker exploits this vulnerability, they can force multiple connections into a leaked state, which may exhaust the server's file descriptors. This exhaustion can lead to a denial of service, preventing the server from accepting new connections from legitimate clients. The vulnerability has been addressed in several recent releases of Jetty, specifically in versions 9.4.54, 10.0.20, 11.0.20, and 12.0.6. Users are encouraged to upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate risks.
