Description
Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. In versions prior to 4.1.132.Final and 4.2.10.Final, Netty incorrectly parses quoted strings in HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding extension values, enabling request smuggling attacks. Versions 4.1.132.Final and 4.2.10.Final fix the issue.
Problem types
CWE-444: Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request/Response Smuggling')
Product status
>= 4.2.0.Alpha1, < 4.2.10.Final
