Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Eclipse Jetty's jetty-servlets package, versions 10.0.0 to before 10.0.18, 11.0.0 to before 11.0.18, and 12.0.0 to before 12.0.4, is vulnerable. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server memory through PushSessionCacheFilter, causing denial of service. Upgrade to 10.0.18, 11.0.18, or 12.0.4. If you cannot upgrade, stop using PushCacheFilter, since push is deprecated, or shorten the idle timeout for unauthenticated sessions.
