Summary
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, the `SpdyHttpDecoder` handler in Netty's SPDY-to-HTTP codec allocates a pooled `ByteBuf` when processing a client-initiated `SYN_STREAM` frame with `FLAG_FIN=0` and stores the partially constructed `FullHttpRequest` in `messageMap`; when the remote peer sends `RST_STREAM` for that stream or the accumulated content exceeds `maxContentLength`, the decoder removes the entry but does not release the pooled `ByteBuf`, causing native memory exhaustion.
This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final. A flaw was found in Netty.
This oversight leads to native memory exhaustion, which can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system. This is an Important denial of service vulnerability in Netty's SPDY-to-HTTP codec, affecting Red Hat products that utilize vulnerable versions of Netty.
Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-772.
Affected products named by the advisory: Cryostat 4 on RHEL 9; Red Hat AMQ Broker 7.13.6; Red Hat AMQ Broker 7.14.1; Red Hat Build of Apache Camel 3.33.2.SP3; and 24 more.
