Eclipse Jetty: DoS attack triggering OutOfMemory with 100-Continue requests

Quick fix

GHSA-9299-c6m4-mjhc — org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>10.0.23</version> for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server

Details

### Impact The original report:

> Server handling of 100-Continue requests can lead to memory leak that can be abused to cause a Denial of Service state.

After investigation, turns out that every request that has a body, but reading the body may end up in reading 0 bytes, leaks a buffer. This is particularly the case for 100-Continue, but any request where the network is slow can leak.
