SCA: security update for io.netty:netty-codec-classes-quic (GHSA-cq4q-cv5g-r8q5)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 443255

Description

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

 - Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to version
 4.2.15.Final, Netty QUIC exposes the stateless reset token on the network path when using the default
 HMAC-based connection-ID and stateless-reset-token generators. The reset token for the server's current
 source connection ID can be derived from bytes that appear as the connection ID in QUIC headers after a
 source-CID rotation. An on-path attacker observing the headers can use the token to perform a Denial of
 Service by sending a spoofed Stateless Reset packet. Version 4.2.15.Final patches the issue.
 (CVE-2026-50009)

Solution

Update the io.netty:netty-codec-classes-quic library and its related packages to version 4.2.15.Final or later.
