OutOfMemoryError for large multipart without filename in Eclipse Jetty
Quick fix
GHSA-qw69-rqj8-6qw8 — org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>9.4.51.v20230217</version> for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-serverDetails
### Impact Servlets with multipart support (e.g. annotated with `@MultipartConfig`) that call `HttpServletRequest.getParameter()` or `HttpServletRequest.getParts()` may cause `OutOfMemoryError` when the client sends a multipart request with a part that has a name but no filename and a very large content.
This happens even with the default settings of `fileSizeThreshold=0` which should stream the whole part content to disk.
An attacker client may send a large multipart request and cause the server to throw `OutOfMemoryError`. However, the server may be able to recover after the `OutOfMemoryError` and continue its service -- although it may take some time.
A very large number of parts may cause the same problem.
### Patches Patched in Jetty versions
* 9.4.51.v20230217 - via PR #9345 * 10.0.14 - via PR #9344 * 11.0.14 - via PR #9344
### Workarounds Multipart parameter `maxRequestSize` must be set to a non-negative value, so the whole multipart content is limited (although still read into memory). Limiting multipart parameter `maxFileSize` won't be enough because an attacker can send a large number of parts that summed up will cause memory issues.
