Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the HTTP server provided by Netty, a Java NIO client/server socket framework :

CVE-2019-20444

HttpObjectDecoder.java allows an HTTP header that lacks a colon, which might be interpreted as a separate header with an incorrect syntax, or might be interpreted as an ‘invalid fold.’

CVE-2019-20445

HttpObjectDecoder.java allows a Content-Length header to be accompanied by a second Content-Length header, or by a Transfer-Encoding header.

CVE-2020-7238

Netty allows HTTP Request Smuggling because it mishandles Transfer-Encoding whitespace (such as a [space]Transfer-Encoding:chunked line) and a later Content-Length header.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.2.6.Final-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your netty packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
