The issue can be avoided by:\n + not using the PushCacheFilter.  Push has been deprecated by the various IETF specs and early hints responses should be used instead.\n + reducing the reducing the idle timeout on unauthenticated sessions will reduce the time such session stay in memory.\n + configuring a session cache to use [session passivation](https://jetty.org/docs/jetty/12/programming-guide/server/session.html), so that sessions are not stored in memory, but rather in a database or file system that may have significantly more capacity than memory.\n\n### References\n* https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10756\n* https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10755","published":"2024-10-14T15:07:10.942Z","modified":"2026-10-28T02:30:28.114351868Z","cvss":{"score":3.1,"severity":"LOW","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","fixedVersion":"10.0.18"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","fixedVersion":"11.0.18"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlets","fixedVersion":"12.0.4"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10755","label":"jetty/jetty.project#10755"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/04/msg00001.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/6xxx/CVE-2024-6762.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/security/advisories/GHSA-r7m4-f9h5-gr79"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-6762"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignement/-/issues/24"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10755"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/10756"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/9715"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/pull/9716"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-10-28T02:30:28.114351868Z"}}
