Description

Apache Drill uses 3rd party libraries with almost 250+ CVEs.

Most of the CVEs are in the older version of Jetty (9.1.x) whereas the current version of Jetty is 9.4.x

Also many of the other libraries are in EOF versions and the are not patched even in the latest release.

This creates an issue of security when we use it in production.

We are able to replace many older version of libraries with the latest versions with no CVEs , however many of them are not replaceable as it is and would require some changes in the source code.

The jetty version is of the highest priority and needs migration to 9.4.x version immediately.

 

Please look into this issue at immediate priority as it compromises with the security of the application utilizing Apache Drill.
