Denial of Service (DoS)

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due to the extraneous reading of a Linux environment file when loaded on a Windows application. An attacker can cause the application to crash by creating a large file in C:\etc\os-release or C:\usr\lib\os-release which the application attempts to load. If the file exceeds the JVM's memory limit (1 GB by default) the application will crash when loading it into memory.

Note: This vulnerability affects only Windows environments.

How to fix Denial of Service (DoS)?

Upgrade io.netty:netty-common to version 4.1.115.Final or higher.
