Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for
rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers and
clients.
Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/io.netty/netty-codec-http2/4.1.27.Final/3769790a2033667d663f9a526d5b63cfecdbdf4e/netty-codec-http2-4.1.27.Final.jar
Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. In Netty (io.netty:netty-codec-http2) before version 4.1.61.Final there is a vulnerability that enables request smuggling. The content-length header is not correctly validated if the request only uses a single Http2HeaderFrame with the endStream set to to true. This could lead to request smuggling if the request is proxied to a remote peer and translated to HTTP/1.1. This is a followup of GHSA-wm47-8v5p-wjpj/CVE-2021-21295 which did miss to fix this one case. This was fixed as part of 4.1.61.Final.
