Vulnerability Details

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In netty-codec-http2 prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, the "DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener" class orchestrates HTTP/2 decompression by embedding a per-stream "EmbeddedChannel" that runs the appropriate decompression codec (gzip, deflate, zstd) and forwards decompressed chunks to a wrapped listener. Each decompressed chunk is a pooled "ByteBuf" handed to an anonymous "ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter" tail handler, which becomes the sole owner responsible for releasing it. A remote peer could send frames that would result in the flow-controller throwing and so trigger a resource leak which at the end might take down the whole JVM due OOME. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.
