How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.7 netty-javadoc 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-javadoc package and not the netty-javadoc package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Netty (io.netty:netty-handler) versions from 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.16.Final and versions through 4.1.136.Final disable TLS hostname verification on the SslProvider.OPENSSL client path when a plain (non-extended) X509TrustManager is used and Unsafe-based trust-manager wrapping is unavailable (Java 25+). In this configuration the OpenSSL client does not perform hostname verification, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker to present a certificate issued for a different hostname that is accepted without validation. Fixed in 4.2.17.Final and 4.1.137.Final.
