Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity via the XmlFrameDecoder process. An attacker can cause the server's EventLoop thread to exhaust CPU resources and become unresponsive by sending a specially crafted XML payload, such as repeated /...

GHSA-V74W-7MR3-4QG3 Netty: Denial of Service in XmlFrameDecoder via CPU Exhaustion

Summary An attacker can cause Denial of Service by sending a specially crafted malicious XML payload e.g., repeated . Because the parser state is not saved between decode invocations, an attacker can trickle-feed a payload of / characters. This forces the decoder to repeatedly rescan the entire...
