  - Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for development of maintainable high
    performance protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.1.124.Final, and 4.2.0.Alpha3 through 4.2.4.Final,
    Netty incorrectly accepts standalone newline characters (LF) as a chunk-size line terminator, regardless
    of a preceding carriage return (CR), instead of requiring CRLF per HTTP/1.1 standards. When combined with
    reverse proxies that parse LF differently (treating it as part of the chunk extension), attackers can
    craft requests that the proxy sees as one request but Netty processes as two, enabling request smuggling
    attacks. This is fixed in versions 4.1.125.Final and 4.2.5.Final. (CVE-2025-58056)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
