The issue can be avoided by:\n + not using the PushCacheFilter.  Push has been deprecated by the various IETF specs and early hints responses should be used instead.\n + reducing the reducing the idle timeout on unauthenticated sessions will reduce the time such session stay in memory.\n + configuring a session cache to use [session passivation](https://jetty.org/docs/jetty/12/programming-guide/server/session.html), so that sessions are not stored in memory, but rather in a database or file system that may have significantly more capacity than memory.\n\n### References\n* https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10756\n* https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10755","aliases":["CVE-2024-6762"],"modified":"2025-11-04T00:12:21.236063Z","published":"2024-10-14T21:07:29Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-400","CWE-770"],"severity":"LOW","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-10-14T21:07:29Z","nvd_published_at":"2024-10-14T16:15:03Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/security/advisories/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-6762"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10755"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10756"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/9715"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/9716"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignement/-/issues/24"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/04/msg00001.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-servlets"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"10.0.0"},{"fixed":"10.0.18"}]}],"versions":["10.0.0","10.0.1","10.0.10","10.0.11","10.0.12","10.0.13","10.0.14","10.0.15","10.0.16","10.0.17","10.0.2","10.0.3","10.0.4","10.0.5","10.0.6","10.0.7","10.0.8","10.0.9"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 10.0.17","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/10/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-servlets"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"11.0.0"},{"fixed":"11.0.18"}]}],"versions":["11.0.0","11.0.1","11.0.10","11.0.11","11.0.12","11.0.13","11.0.14","11.0.15","11.0.16","11.0.17","11.0.2","11.0.3","11.0.4","11.0.5","11.0.6","11.0.7","11.0.8","11.0.9"],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 11.0.17","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/10/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-servlets"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"12.0.0"},{"fixed":"12.0.4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/10/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79.json","last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c= 12.0.3"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"}]}
