Packet Fence 6.0.2

PacketFence is a network access control (NAC) system. It is actively maintained and has been deployed in numerous large-scale institutions. It can be used to effectively secure networks, from small to very large heterogeneous networks. PacketFence provides NAC-oriented features such as registration of new network devices, detection of abnormal network activities including from remote snort sensors, isolation of problematic devices, remediation through a captive portal, and registration-based and scheduled vulnerability scans.

Jetty 9.3.8 Path Sanitization

The Jetty path normalization mechanism suffers of an implementation issue when parsing the request URLs. The path normalization logic implemented in the PathResource class and introduced in Jetty versions 9.3.x can be defeated by requesting malicious URLs containing specific escaped characters. Leveraging on this weakness, a malicious user can gain access to protected resources (e.g. WEB-INF and META-INF folders and their contents) and defeat application filters or other security constraints implemented in the servlet configuration. Versions 9.3.0 through 9.3.8 are affected.
