buffer not correctly recycled in Gzip Request inflation
CVE: CVE-2020-27218
Component: jetty
CWE: CWE-226
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 4.7/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L
Release date: 2020-11-27T00:00:00+00:00

In Eclipse Jetty version 9.4.0.RC0 to 9.4.34.v20201102, 10.0.0.alpha0 to 10.0.0.beta2, and 11.0.0.alpha0 to 11.0.0.beta2, if GZIP request body inflation is enabled and requests from different clients are multiplexed onto a single connection, and if an attacker can send a request with a body that is received entirely but not consumed by the application, then a subsequent request on the same connection will see that body prepended to its body. The attacker will not see any data but may inject data into the body of the subsequent request.

Statement: In OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), the Hive/Presto/Hadoop components that comprise the OCP Metering stack, ship the vulnerable version of jetty.
Since the release of OCP 4.6, the Metering product has been deprecated [1], hence the affected components are marked as wontfix.
This may be fixed in the future.
