GHSA-cj7v-27pg-wf7q
No affected components available
Description
URI use within Jetty's HttpURI class can parse invalid URIs such as http://localhost;/path as having an authority with a host of localhost;.
A URIs of the type http://localhost;/path should be interpreted to be either invalid or as localhost; to be the userinfo and no host.
However, HttpURI.host returns localhost; which is definitely wrong.
Impact
This can lead to errors with Jetty's HttpClient, and Jetty's ProxyServlet / AsyncProxyServlet / AsyncMiddleManServlet wrongly interpreting an authority with no host as one with a host.
Patches
Patched in PR #8146 for Jetty version 9.4.47. Patched in PR #8014 for Jetty versions 10.0.10, and 11.0.10
Workarounds
None.
