Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview io.netty:netty-handler is a library that provides an asynchronous event-driven network application framework and tools for rapid development of maintainable high performance and high scalability protocol servers and clients. In other words, Netty is a NIO client server framework which...

GHSA-X4GW-5CX5-PGMH Netty: SNI handler pre-allocates up to 16 MiB from nine attacker bytes

SslClientHelloHandler.decode reads the 24-bit TLS handshake length and, when the ClientHello does not fit in the first record, eagerly allocates ctx.alloc.bufferhandshakeLength line 161. The guard at line 140 is handshakeLength maxClientHelloLength && maxClientHelloLength != 0, and the...

Improper Verification of Source of a Communication Channel

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Source of a Communication Channel due to improper validation in the validateToken function. An attacker can cause the server to treat unvalidated client addresses as validated by supplying any non-empty token...

Netty: HAProxy SSL TLV parsing leaks retained slice on invalid TLV length

When decoding a PP2TYPESSL TLV, HAProxyMessage.readNextTLV first calls header.retainedSliceheader.readerIndex, length and only then reads the 1-byte client field and 4-byte verify field. If the attacker sets the TLV length below 5, the subsequent readByte/readInt throws IndexOutOfBoundsException...
