  - Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable
    high performance protocol servers & clients. In netty-codec-compression versions 4.1.124.Final and below,
    and netty-codec versions 4.2.4.Final and below, when supplied with specially crafted input, BrotliDecoder
    and certain other decompression decoders will allocate a large number of reachable byte buffers, which can
    lead to denial of service. BrotliDecoder.decompress has no limit in how often it calls pull, decompressing
    data 64K bytes at a time. The buffers are saved in the output list, and remain reachable until OOM is hit.
    This is fixed in versions 4.1.125.Final of netty-codec and 4.2.5.Final of netty-codec-compression.
    (CVE-2025-58057)
