Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 netty to version 1:3.2.6.Final-2+deb8u2build0.14.04.1~esm1 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 Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Netty before 4.1.42.Final mishandles whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers (such as a "Transfer-Encoding : chunked" line), which leads to HTTP request smuggling.
