Denial Of Service (DoS)

Netty is vulnerable to Denial of Service DoS. The vulnerability is due to unbounded accumulation of incomplete SCTP message fragments in nested CompositeByteBuf structures without limits on fragment count, size, or stream identifiers, which allows an attacker to exhaust memory and processing...

For each non-complete SctpMessage fragment the handler does fragments.putstreamId, Unpooled.wrappedBufferfrag, byteBuf, wrapping the previous accumulator and the new slice into a new CompositeByteBuf every time. After N fragments the accumulator is an N-deep chain of composites, each holding...
