Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Eclipse Jetty's jetty-server (org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server) versions 12.0.0 up to 12.0.32 and 12.1.0 up to 12.1.6 are affected, per the affected ranges; fixed versions are 12.0.32 and 12.1.6. When GzipHandler receives a request with gzip Content-Encoding and the response is not gzip-encoded, inflater objects are not released, leaking native memory. A remote client can send such requests repeatedly to cause off-heap out-of-memory errors and crash the JVM. Upgrade to 12.0.32 or 12.1.6; as a workaround, disable GzipHandler.
