Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Jetty, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and access arbitrary files.
1) Invalid filenames are not santised before being returned to users in error responses. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site by tricking the user into visiting a malicious web site or follow a specially crafted link.
Example:
http://[host]/%0a%0a[code].jsp
2) An input validation error in the Jetty CGIServlet on Windows can be exploited to access arbitrary files and directories outside the web root via directory traversal attacks.
Example:
http://[host]:8080/cgi-bin/..\..\..\[existing_file]
