USN-8401-1: Netty vulnerabilities

It was discovered that Netty's HTTP proxy handler did not properly validate headers when constructing CONNECT requests. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary HTTP headers into CONNECT requests. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS,...

SUSE CVE-2026-45352

CVE-2026-45352

The CVE-2026-45352 issue affects cpp-httplib (header-only HTTP/HTTPS library). Before version 0.43.4, the ChunkedDecoder::read_payload routine parses the chunk-size in chunked Transfer-Encoding with std::strtoul(), which can silently accept a minus sign. This allows negative chunk sizes (e.g., "-...

CVE-2026-42585

A flaw was found in Netty. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform request smuggling attacks due to incorrect parsing of malformed Transfer-Encoding headers. By exploiting this flaw, an attacker can bypass security controls and potentially access sensitive information or manipulate...

CVE-2026-42581

A flaw was found in Netty's HttpObjectDecoder. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP/1.0 request that includes both Transfer-Encoding: chunked and Content-Length headers. While Netty correctly strips the conflicting Content-Length header for HTTP/1.1 messages, thi...

CrowdSec AppSec silently drops request body for chunked / HTTP-2 requests

Summary The CrowdSec AppSec component fails to read the HTTP request body for any request whose Content-Length is not positive — most notably HTTP/1.1 requests using Transfer-Encoding: chunked and HTTP/2 requests sent without a content-length header. Coraza is then evaluated against an empty body...

CVE-2026-7790

A flaw was found in ninenines cowlib, specifically within the cowhttpte module's chunked transfer-encoding parser. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending an HTTP/1.1 request containing a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header with an excessively long hexadecimal string in the...

PT-2026-44131

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions crowdsec versions prior to 1.7.8 Description The AppSec component fails to read the HTTP request body when the Content-Length is not positive. This occurs specifically with HTTP/1.1 requests using Transfer-Encoding: chunked and HTTP/2 requests...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Netty

Netty 4.1.43.Final allows HTTP Request Smuggling because it mishandles Transfer-Encoding whitespace such as a spaceTransfer-Encoding:chunked line and a later Content-Length header. This issue exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-16869...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Apache2

Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.41 to 2.4.46 with modproxyhttp can become unstable when processing specially crafted requests that use both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers. This can lead to a denial of service...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Gunicorn

Gunicorn fails to properly validate Transfer-Encoding headers, resulting in HTTP Request Smuggling HRS vulnerabilities. By creating requests with conflicting Transfer-Encoding headers, attackers can bypass security restrictions and access restricted endpoints. This issue arises due to Gunicorn’s...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Tomcat9

Apache Tomcat versions 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.6, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.46, and 8.5.0 to 8.5.66 did not correctly parse the HTTP transfer-encoding request header in some circumstances, which could lead to requests for data smuggling when used with a reverse proxy. Specifically: - Tomcat incorrectly ignored t...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in JRuby

A vulnerability was discovered in Ruby versions 2.5.8, 2.6.x up to 2.6.6, and 2.7.x up to 2.7.1. WEBrick, a simple HTTP server bundled with Ruby, did not rigorously check the transfer-encoding header value. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to bypass a reverse proxy which...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Waitress

In Waitress version 1.4.0, if a proxy server is used in front of Waitress, an attacker may send an invalid request that bypasses the front-end and is parsed differently by Waitress. This could lead to HTTP request smuggling. Specifically, requests containing special whitespace characters in the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Waitress

Waitress version 1.3.1 would parse the Transfer-Encoding header and only look for a single string value. If that value was not in the “chunked” format, it would proceed using the Content-Length header instead. According to the HTTP standard, Transfer-Encoding should be a comma-separated list, wit...
