How to fix?

Upgrade io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-ohttp-hpke-classes-boringssl to version 0.0.11.Final or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor due to the BoringSSLAEADContext sequence number overflow. An attacker can manipulate the nonce repetition by causing the sequence number to overflow.

If the BoringSSLAEADContext is used to encrypt more than 2^32 messages, then the AES-GCM nonce will repeat. Repeating a nonce with AES-GCM results in both confidentiality and integrity compromise of data encrypted with the associated key.
