SCA: security update for io.netty:netty-codec-http2 (GHSA-93wv-jw9v-4972)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445544

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. In versions
 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.15.Final and 4.1.0.Final through 4.1.135.Final, a remote unauthenticated peer can
 leak one direct `ByteBuf` per HTTP/2 `DATA` frame in applications that enable HTTP/2 content decompression
 via `DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener`. When a `DATA` frame is processed for a stream whose
 decompressor has already been closed, `Http2Decompressor.decompress(...)` calls
 `decompressor.writeInbound(data.retain())` and does not release the retained buffer on the error path,
 eventually exhausting direct memory and crashing the JVM. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final
 and 4.2.16.Final. (CVE-2026-56819)

Solution

Update the io.netty:netty-codec-http2 library and its related packages to version 4.1.136.Final or later.
