Package : netty
Version : 1:4.1.7-2+deb9u2
CVE ID : CVE-2019-20444 CVE-2019-20445 CVE-2020-7238 CVE-2020-11612
Debian Bug : 950966 950967
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in netty, a Java NIO
client/server socket framework.
CVE-2019-20444
HttpObjectDecoder.java in Netty before 4.1.44 allows an HTTP header
that lacks a colon, which might be interpreted as a separate header
with an incorrect syntax, or might be interpreted as an "invalid
fold."
CVE-2019-20445
HttpObjectDecoder.java in Netty before 4.1.44 allows a Content-Length
header to be accompanied by a second Content-Length header, or by a
Transfer-Encoding header.
CVE-2020-7238
Netty 4.1.43.Final allows HTTP Request Smuggling because it
mishandles Transfer-Encoding whitespace (such as a
[space]Transfer-Encoding:chunked line) and a later Content-Length
header. This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for
CVE-2019-16869.
CVE-2020-11612
The ZlibDecoders in Netty 4.1.x before 4.1.46 allow for unbounded
memory allocation while decoding a ZlibEncoded byte stream. An
attacker could send a large ZlibEncoded byte stream to the Netty
server, forcing the server to allocate all of its free memory to a
single decoder.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1:4.1.7-2+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your netty packages.
