CVE-2025-1948
Last modified
CVE-2025-1948 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In Eclipse Jetty versions 12.0.0 to 12.0.16 included, an HTTP/2 client can specify a very large value for the HTTP/2 settings parameter SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE. The Jetty HTTP/2 server does not perform validation on this setting, and tries to allocate a ByteBuffer of the specified capacity to encode HTTP responses, likely resulting in OutOfMemoryError being thrown, or even the JVM process exiting.. EPSS estimates a 0.63% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
