Notes
- jetty9 <not-affected> (Vulnerable code never present in Debian released version)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=538096
Issue is not present in 9.2.x as there is no HTTP/2 support. Fixed upstream
in 9.4.12. Debian package moved directly to 9.4.14-1 containing the fix and
thus never including in unstable a vulnerable version.
