SCA: security update for io.netty:netty-codec-http (GHSA-269q-hmxg-m83q)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408731
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework. The package
`io.netty:netty-codec-http` prior to version 4.1.77.Final contains an insufficient fix for CVE-2021-21290.
When Netty's multipart decoders are used local information disclosure can occur via the local system
temporary directory if temporary storing uploads on the disk is enabled. This only impacts applications
running on Java version 6 and lower. Additionally, this vulnerability impacts code running on Unix-like
systems, and very old versions of Mac OSX and Windows as they all share the system temporary directory
between all users. Version 4.1.77.Final contains a patch for this vulnerability. As a workaround, specify
one's own `java.io.tmpdir` when starting the JVM or use DefaultHttpDataFactory.setBaseDir(...) to set the
directory to something that is only readable by the current user. (CVE-2022-24823)
