netty: io.netty/netty-codec-http: io.netty/netty-codec-http2: Netty: Denial of Service via unbounded memory allocation in HTTP content decompression

A flaw was found in Netty. A remote attacker can bypass the configured decompression limit in the HttpContentDecompressor by sending a specially crafted compressed payload using Brotli br, Zstandard zstd, or Snappy content encodings. This can lead to unbounded memory allocation, resulting in an...

CVE-2026-42587 Netty: HttpContentDecompressor maxAllocation bypass via Content-Encoding: br/zstd/snappy enables decompression bomb DoS

Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, HttpContentDecompressor accepts a maxAllocation parameter to limit decompression buffer size and prevent decompression bomb attacks. This limit is correctly enforced for gzip and deflate...

CVE-2026-42587

Netty CVE-2026-42587 affects HttpContentDecompressor and DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener. Before 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, maxAllocation is enforced for gzip/deflate but ignored for br, zstd, or snappy, allowing an attacker to bypass the decompression limit via Content-Encoding: br and ...
