Jetty vulnerable to incorrect handling of invalid large TLS frame, exhausting CPU resources

Impact

When using SSL/TLS with Jetty, either with HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, or WebSocket, the server may receive an invalid large (greater than 17408) TLS frame that is incorrectly handled, causing CPU resources to eventually reach 100% usage.

Workarounds

The problem can be worked around by compiling the following class:

package org.eclipse.jetty.server.ssl.fix6072;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLEngine;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLEngineResult;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLException;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException;

import org.eclipse.jetty.io.EndPoint;
import org.eclipse.jetty.io.ssl.SslConnection;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Connector;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.SslConnectionFactory;
import org.eclipse.jetty.util.BufferUtil;
import org.eclipse.jetty.util.annotation.Name;
import org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory;

public class SpaceCheckingSslConnectionFactory extends SslConnectionFactory
{
    public SpaceCheckingSslConnectionFactory(@Name("sslContextFactory") SslContextFactory factory, @Name("next") String nextProtocol)
    {
        super(factory, nextProtocol);
    }

    @Override
    protected SslConnection newSslConnection(Connector connector, EndPoint endPoint, SSLEngine engine)
    {
        return new SslConnection(connector.getByteBufferPool(), connector.getExecutor(), endPoint, engine, isDirectBuffersForEncryption(), isDirectBuffersForDecryption())
        {
            @Override
            protected SSLEngineResult unwrap(SSLEngine sslEngine, ByteBuffer input, ByteBuffer output) throws SSLException
            {
                SSLEngineResult results = super.unwrap(sslEngine, input, output);

                if ((results.getStatus() == SSLEngineResult.Status.BUFFER_UNDERFLOW ||
                    results.getStatus() == SSLEngineResult.Status.OK && results.bytesConsumed() == 0 && results.bytesProduced() == 0) &&
                    BufferUtil.space(input) == 0)
                {
                    BufferUtil.clear(input);
                    throw new SSLHandshakeException("Encrypted buffer max length exceeded");
                }
                return results;
            }
        };
    }
}
