SCA: security update for io.netty:netty-codec-http (GHSA-fghv-69vj-qj49)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435204

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for development of maintainable high
performance protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.1.124.Final, and 4.2.0.Alpha3 through 4.2.4.Final,
Netty incorrectly accepts standalone newline characters (LF) as a chunk-size line terminator, regardless
of a preceding carriage return (CR), instead of requiring CRLF per HTTP/1.1 standards. When combined with
reverse proxies that parse LF differently (treating it as part of the chunk extension), attackers can
craft requests that the proxy sees as one request but Netty processes as two, enabling request smuggling
attacks. This is fixed in versions 4.1.125.Final and 4.2.5.Final. (CVE-2025-58056)
