A flaw was discovered in the jetty-server, where if an exception is thrown from the SessionListener#sessionDestroyed() method, then the session ID is not invalidated in the session ID manager. On deployments with clustered sessions and multiple contexts, this could result in a session not being invalidated and a shared-computer application being left logged in. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.

A flaw was found in Eclipse Jetty. When parsing the authority segment of an HTTP scheme URI, the Jetty HttpURI class improperly detects an invalid input as a hostname. This issue can lead to failures in a Proxy scenario.

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.
