io.netty:netty-common 4.1.72.Final vulnerabilities

Known vulnerabilities in the io.netty:netty-common package. This does not include vulnerabilities belonging to this package’s dependencies.

Vulnerability	Vulnerable Version
M Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in `BufferedReader.readLine()`, which does not count null bytes when calculating the acceptable size of an input stream. 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 and is a bypass for the previously reported and fixed CVE-2024-47535. How to fix Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input? Upgrade `io.netty:netty-common` to version 4.1.118, 4.2.0.RC3 or higher.	[,4.1.118)[4.2.0.Alpha1,4.2.0.RC3)
M 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.	[,4.1.115.Final)
M Information Exposure Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to an incomplete fix to CVE-2021-21290, which still allowed one exploitable path. When netty's multipart decoders are used, local information disclosure can occur via the local system temporary directory, if temporary storing uploads on the disk is enabled. Note: To be vulnerable, a victim application has to run on a Unix-like operating system, and with Java 6 or below. How to fix Information Exposure? Upgrade `io.netty:netty-common` to version 4.1.77.Final or higher.	[4.0.0.Final,4.1.77.Final)
