JSON

A flaw was found in Jetty, a Java based web server and servlet engine. If an HTTP/2 connection gets TCP congested, it remains open and idle, and connections may be leaked when it times out. An attacker can cause many connections to end up in this state, and the server may run out of file descriptors, eventually causing the server to stop accepting new connections from valid clients.

Mitigation

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
