CVE-2026-1605

A flaw was found in org.eclipse.jetty. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a compressed HTTP request with Content-Encoding: gzip when the server's response is not compressed. This prevents the release of the JDK Inflater, leading to a resource leak. This resource exhaustion can result in a Denial of Service (DoS), making the server unavailable to legitimate users.

This Important flaw in Eclipse Jetty's GzipHandler can lead to a denial of service in affected Red Hat products. The vulnerability arises when compressed HTTP requests are processed without a corresponding compressed response, causing a resource leak that can exhaust system resources and render the service unavailable.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
