Summary

Netty could provide various potential exploitable entry points icnluding weaker than expected security, netty-codec is vulnerable to a denial of service, and HTTP request smuggling

Vulnerability Details

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)

CVEID:CVE-2021-37137
**DESCRIPTION:**Netty netty-codec is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by not restrict the chunk length in the SnappyFrameDecoder. By sending a specially-crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause excessive memory usage, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/211779 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2019-9518
**DESCRIPTION:**Multiple vendors are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a Empty Frame Flooding attack. By sending a stream of frames with an empty payload and without the end-of-stream flag, a remote attacker could consume excessive CPU resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/164904 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2020-11612
**DESCRIPTION:**Netty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by unbounded memory allocation while decoding a ZlibEncoded byte stream in the ZlibDecoders. By sending a large ZlibEncoded byte stream, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust memory resources.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/180530 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-7238
**DESCRIPTION:**Netty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw when handling Transfer-Encoding whitespace and a later Content-Length header. 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/175398 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-2019-16869
**DESCRIPTION:**Netty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by a flaw when handling unusual whitespaces before the colon in HTTP headers. 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/167672 for the current score.
