Summary

Netty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling and weaker than expected security. These can affect watsonx.data.

Vulnerability Details

**CVEID:**CVE-2019-20444 DESCRIPTION: Netty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw in the HttpObjectDecoder.java. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/175487 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

**CVEID:**CVE-2019-20445 DESCRIPTION: Netty could provide weaker than expected security, caused by non-proper handling of Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding in the HttpObjectDecoder.java. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/175486 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
