Security update has been released for org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-server to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

If GZIP request body inflation is enabled and requests from different clients are multiplexed onto a single connection and if an
attacker can send a request with a body that is received entirely by not consumed by the application, then a subsequent request
on the same connection will see that body prepended to it's body.

The attacker will not see any data, but may inject data into the body of the subsequent request
