Overview

io.netty:netty-codec-http is a network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. Netty mishandles whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers such as a Transfer-Encoding : chunked line. This can lead to HTTP request smuggling where an attacker can bypass security controls, gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, and directly compromise other application users.
