Vulnerability Title
Netty: HTTP/3 QPACK literal unbounded allocation
Source: NVD (National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final, when decoding header blocks, the non-Huffman branch of io.netty.handler.codec.http3.QpackDecoder#decodeHuffmanEncodedLiteral may execute new byte[length] for a string literal before verifying that length bytes are actually present in the compressed field section. The wire encoding allows a very large length to be expressed in few bytes. There is no check that length <= in.readableBytes() before new byte[length]. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final.

Netty 安全漏洞
Source: CNNVD (China National Vulnerability Database)
Vulnerability Description
Netty是Netty社区的一款非阻塞I/O客户端-服务器框架，它主要用于开发Java网络应用程序，如协议服务器和客户端等。 Netty 4.2.13.Final之前版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于在解码头部块时，非Huffman分支在验证长度字节实际存在于压缩字段部分之前执行new byte[length]，可能导致内存分配问题。
