One more was published today:

- Jetty - CVE-2025-5115

https://github.com/jetty/jetty.project/security/advisories/GHSA-mmxm-8w33-wc4h

----------

Jetty's Team Notes
Impact
A denial of service vulnerability similar to Rapid Reset, but where the
client triggers a reset from the server by sending a malformed or invalid
frame.
In particular, this may be triggered by WINDOW_UPDATE frames that are
invalid (e.g. with delta==0 or when the delta makes the window exceed
2^31-1).

Patches
Patch has been merged into 12.0.x mainline via #13449.

Workarounds
No workarounds apart disabling HTTP/2.
