Published Vulnerabilities
CVE-2014-3488
Severity: Medium
CVSS Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P)
CWE: CWE-119 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
The SslHandler in Netty before 3.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted SSLv2Hello message.
WebSocket08FrameDecoder in Netty 3.6.x before 3.6.9, 3.7.x before 3.7.1, 3.8.x before 3.8.2, 3.9.x before 3.9.1, and 4.0.x before 4.0.19 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a TextWebSocketFrame followed by a long stream of ContinuationWebSocketFrames.
Astyanax does not even use SslHandler... Did you check?
IMHO, a lint tool complaining is not worth updating the dependency given the maintenance implications.

Please consider integrating the OWASP dependency plugin into Astyanax to catch all of these during build time:
