Jetty invalid URI parsing may produce invalid HttpURI.authority
Summary
Jetty invalid URI parsing may produce invalid HttpURI.authority
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Description
URI use within Jetty's HttpURI class can parse invalid URIs such as http://localhost;/path as having an authority with a host of localhost;.
A URIs of the type http://localhost;/path should be interpreted to be either invalid or as localhost; to be the userinfo and no host.
However, HttpURI.host returns localhost; which is definitely wrong.
Impact
This can lead to errors with Jetty's HttpClient, and Jetty's ProxyServlet / AsyncProxyServlet / AsyncMiddleManServlet wrongly interpreting an authority with no host as one with a host.
Patches
Patched in PR #8146 for Jetty version 9.4.47.
Patched in PR #8014 for Jetty versions 10.0.10, and 11.0.10
Workarounds
None.
