CVE-2026-42582

Netty: HTTP/3 QPACK literal unbounded allocation PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

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 / nettyaffected >= 4.2.0.Alpha1, < 4.2.13.Final
