Eclipse Jetty's ThreadLimitHandler.getRemote() vulnerable to remote DoS attacks

CVE-2024-8184GHSA-g8m5-722r-8whq

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server 12.0.9, 11.0.24, 10.0.24, 9.4.56), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Remote DOS attack can cause out of memory Description There exists a security vulnerability in Jetty's ThreadLimitHandler.getRemote() which can be exploited by unauthorized users to cause remote denial-of-service (DoS) attack. By repeatedly sending crafted requests, attackers can trigger OutofMemory errors and exhaust the server's memory. Affected Versions Jetty 12.0.0-12.0.8 (Supported) Jetty 11.0.0-11.0.23 (EOL) Jetty 10.0.0-10.0.23 (EOL) Jetty 9.3.12-9.4.55 (EOL) Patched Versions Jetty 12.0.9 Jetty 11.0.24 Jetty 10.0.24 Jetty 9.4.56 Workarounds Do not use ThreadLimitHandler. Consider use of QoSHandler instead to artificially limit resource utilization. References Jetty 12 - https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/11723

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-8184

Advisory: Eclipse Jetty's ThreadLimitHandler.getRemote() vulnerable to remote DoS attacks
IDs: CVE-2024-8184, GHSA-g8m5-722r-8whq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-8184 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:40 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server 12.0.9, 11.0.24, 10.0.24, 9.4.56. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server: affected >= 12.0.0, <= 12.0.8; >= 10.0.0, <= 10.0.23; >= 11.0.0, <= 11.0.23; >= 9.3.12, <= 9.4.55; fixed in 10.0.24, 11.0.24, 12.0.9, 9.4.56

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g8m5-722r-8whq (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-g8m5-722r-8whq lists affected ranges: Maven org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server >=12.0.0 =10.0.0 =11.0.0 =9.3.12 <=9.4.55)
