Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error when handling a request containing multiple Accept headers with a large number of quality parameters. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust minutes of CPU time.

An XXE issue in SAXBuilder in JDOM through 2.0.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HTTP request.

Eclipse Jetty could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw when the ${jetty.base} directory or the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory is a symlink. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain webapp directory contents information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
