{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2023-36479","details":"Eclipse Jetty Canonical Repository is the canonical repository for the Jetty project. Users of the CgiServlet with a very specific command structure may have the wrong command executed. If a user sends a request to a org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet for a binary with a space in its name, the servlet will escape the command by wrapping it in quotation marks. This wrapped command, plus an optional command prefix, will then be executed through a call to Runtime.exec. If the original binary name provided by the user contains a quotation mark followed by a space, the resulting command line will contain multiple tokens instead of one. This issue was patched in version 9.4.52, 10.0.16, 11.0.16 and 12.0.0-beta2.","modified":"2025-10-24T05:02:07Z","published":"2023-09-15T19:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2023-36479"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-36479"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/security/advisories/GHSA-3gh6-v5v9-6v9j"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9516"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9889"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/pull/9888"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-36479"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"jetty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/jetty@6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["6.1.26-1ubuntu1","6.1.26-1ubuntu1.1","6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"jetty","binary_version":"6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2"},{"binary_name":"libjetty-extra","binary_version":"6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2"},{"binary_name":"libjetty-extra-java","binary_version":"6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2"},{"binary_name":"libjetty-java","binary_version":"6.1.26-1ubuntu1.2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2023/UBUNTU-CVE-2023-36479.json"}},{"package":{"name":"jetty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/jetty@6.1.26-5ubuntu0.1?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["6.1.26-5","6.1.26-5ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libjetty-extra","binary_version":"6.1.26-5ubuntu0.1"},{"binary_name":"libjetty-extra-java","binary_version":"6.1.26-5ubuntu0.1"},{"binary_name":"libjetty-java","binary_version":"6.1.26-5ubuntu0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2023/UBUNTU-CVE-2023-36479.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
