CVE-2025-58056 — Netty is vulnerable to request smuggling due to incorrect parsing of chunk extensions

Affected: netty

Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for development of maintainable high performance protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.1.124.Final, and 4.2.0.Alpha3 through 4.2.4.Final, Netty incorrectly accepts standalone newline characters (LF) as a chunk-size line terminator, regardless of a preceding carriage return (CR), instead of requiring CRLF per HTTP/1.1 standards. When combined with reverse proxies that parse LF differently (treating it as part of the chunk extension), attackers can craft requests that the proxy sees as one request but Netty processes as two, enabling request smuggling attacks. This is fixed in versions 4.1.125.Final and 4.2.5.Final.

USN-7918-1 — netty vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: netty, Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: netty, Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS: netty, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: netty, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: netty, Ubuntu:25.10: netty

Jeppe Bonde Weikop discovered that Netty incorrectly parsed HTTP messages. When Netty is used with certain reverse proxies, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2025-58056)

Jonas Konrad discovered that Netty did not properly manage memory when decoding compressed data. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Netty to consume excessive memory, resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 25.04, and Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2025-58057)
