netty-codec-redis: Netty: Denial of Service via malicious Redis array header

A flaw was found in Netty, a network application framework. The RedisArrayAggregator component pre-allocates memory based on the declared element count in a Redis array header. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a small, malicious Redis array header that claims a huge initial capacity,...

Denial Of Service (DoS)

Netty is vulnerable to Denial of Service DoS. The vulnerability is due to RedisArrayAggregator pre-allocating an ArrayList based on an untrusted RESP array element count from the network, which allows an attacker to trigger excessive memory allocation and exhaust system resources by sending a...

GHSA-5W86-C3RQ-VJJ7 Netty: Unbounded pre-allocation in RedisArrayAggregator from RESP array length

Summary RedisArrayAggregator pre-allocates ArrayList with initial capacity equal to the RESP array element count declared in an array header. That count is taken from the wire before the corresponding child messages exist. A small malicious header can claim a huge initial capacity. Details The...

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in RedisArrayAggregator. An attacker who sends a small RESP array header declaring a very large element count can force the aggregator to reserve a large ArrayList via the...

CVE-2026-50011

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, RedisArrayAggregator pre-allocates ArrayList with initial capacity equal to the RESP array element count declared in an array header. That count is taken fro...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-48006

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, the RedisArrayAggregator handler permanently leaks pooled direct-memory buffers when a Redis pipeline connection closes before a RESP array aggregate...

Direct-Memory Resource Leak

RedisArrayAggregator is vulnerable to a direct-memory resource leak. The vulnerability is due to unreleased pooled direct-memory buffers when a Redis pipeline connection closes before a RESP array aggregation completes, which allows an attacker to repeatedly trigger connection churn and exhaust t...

CVE-2026-50011

Netty CVE-2026-50011 affects RedisArrayAggregator in Netty (prior to 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final). A RESP header can claim a large initial ArrayList capacity, taken from the wire before child messages exist, enabling unbounded pre-allocation. This can cause memory consumption issues. The issue...

CVE-2026-48006 Netty's Lack of Lifecycle Cleanup Leads to Pooled ByteBuf Leak in RedisArrayAggregator

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, the RedisArrayAggregator handler permanently leaks pooled direct-memory buffers when a Redis pipeline connection closes before a RESP array aggregate...

CVE-2026-48006

Summary : CVE-2026-48006 relates to Netty’s RedisArrayAggregator leaking pooled direct-memory buffers when a Redis pipeline connection closes before a RESP array aggregate completes. This occurs prior to Netty versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final . Root cause : The RedisArrayAggregator retains...
