request containing multiple Accept headers with a large number of "quality" parameters may lead to DoS
CVE: CVE-2020-27223
Component: jetty
CWE: CWE-400
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.3/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Release date: 2020-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

In Eclipse Jetty 9.4.6.v20170531 to 9.4.36.v20210114 (inclusive), 10.0.0, and 11.0.0 when Jetty handles a request containing multiple Accept headers with a large number of “quality” (i.e. q) parameters, the server may enter a denial of service (DoS) state due to high CPU usage processing those quality values, resulting in minutes of CPU time exhausted processing those quality values.

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.
