Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-22 22:58 – Updated: 2026-07-22 22:58

Summary

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

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.

Affected Versions

Jetty 11.0.0-11.0.22 (EOL)
