There is no fixed version for netty-jars.

Overview

netty-jars is a gem for Netty JARs.

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.

Note:

io.netty:netty is deprecated. Users should update to io.netty:netty-all
