Upgrade SLES:15.7 netty to version 4.1.138-150200.4.56.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream netty package and not the netty package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Netty's SmtpResponseDecoder component. A remote attacker, acting as a malicious or man-in-the-middle (MITM) SMTP server, could exploit this by sending a specially crafted, unbounded multi-line SMTP response without a terminator. This vulnerability leads to unbounded memory accumulation within the client's Java Virtual Machine (JVM) heap, causing an OutOfMemoryError and a denial of service (DoS) due to a process crash.
