Описание
Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, before reading the first request-line, HttpObjectDecoder skips every byte for which Character.isISOControl(b) is true (0x00–0x1F and 0x7F) as well as all whitespace. RFC 9112 §2.2 only asks servers to ignore empty CRLF lines preceding the request-line — a carefully scoped robustness allowance intended to handle HTTP/1.0 POST workarounds. Silently absorbing NUL bytes, SOH, STX, and other non-CRLF control characters goes significantly beyond this, and can be exploited for request-boundary confusion in pipelined or multiplexed transports where a front-end component treats those bytes differently. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.
A flaw was found in Netty. The HttpObjectDecoder component, which processes incoming HTTP requests, incorrectly skips certain control characters and whitespace before reading the first request line. This behavior, which goes beyond standard HTTP protocol requirements, can lead to request-boundary confusion in systems that use pipelined or multiplexed transports. An attacker could exploit this to cause a front-end component to misinterpret HTTP request boundaries, potentially resulting in low integrity impact, such as unintended data manipulation.
Отчет
This Moderate flaw in Netty's HttpObjectDecoder could lead to data manipulation in Red Hat products utilizing pipelined or multiplexed HTTP transports. The vulnerability arises from the decoder's over-permissive handling of control characters and whitespace, which can cause front-end components to misinterpret HTTP request boundaries. Exploitation requires a specific network configuration where front-end and back-end components process HTTP requests inconsistently, limiting the immediate impact on default installations.
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.

Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, before reading the first request-line, `HttpObjectDecoder` skips every byte for which `Character.isISOControl(b)` is `true` (0x00–0x1F and 0x7F) as well as all whitespace.
