CVE-2026-42580 Details
Description
Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, Netty's chunk size parser silently overflows int, enabling request smuggling attacks. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final.
A vulnerability in Netty's HTTP codec prior to versions 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final allows for HTTP request smuggling attacks. The issue arises because the chunk size parser in 'HttpObjectDecoder' silently overflows the integer type. This overflow can be exploited by crafting a specific chunk size, enabling an attacker to inject and smuggle additional HTTP requests within a chunked transfer encoding.
Users should upgrade to Netty versions 4.2.13.Final or 4.1.133.Final.
