Jetty is a pure Java application server used by big players like Google (Google AppEngine, Google Web Toolkit) and many projects and products like Eclipse, Alfresco Developers, Bea WebLogic Business Connect and WebLogic Event Server, Cisco Subscriber Edge Services Manager, Sybase EAServer, Apache Geronimo, HP OpenView Interconnect Tools and HP Openview Self-Healing, JFox, Zimbra Desktop and others (here a more complete list http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Jetty+Powered). Finding a bug in such a wildspread component is something definitely interesting as the exploitation scenarios are many. We were procrastinating a little too much on this advisory but a CORE advisory burned some of our research and this month we found the time to contact the vendor and follow our disclosure procedure. As always enjoy the reading!
