Описание
Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, Lz4FrameDecoder allocates a ByteBuf of size decompressedLength (up to 32 MB per block) before LZ4 runs. A peer only needs a 21-byte header plus compressedLength payload bytes - 22 bytes if compressedLength == 1 - to force that allocation. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final.
A flaw was found in Netty, an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted LZ4 compressed data stream. This can cause the Lz4FrameDecoder to allocate a large amount of memory (up to 32 MB per block) before the LZ4 decompression runs, leading to excessive memory consumption and a denial of service (DoS) for the affected application.
Отчет
A flaw was found in Netty's LZ4FrameDecoder. The decoder allocates a buffer based on the decompressed length from the LZ4 frame header (up to 32 MB per block) before decompression runs. A remote attacker can send a small crafted LZ4 header (as few as 22 bytes) to force excessive memory allocation, leading to a denial of service. Red Hat products that use Netty with LZ4 compression enabled are affected.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
