Description (CNA)
Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In netty-codec-redis prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, an attacker can cause DoS by sending crafted Redis payloads across multiple connections without `\r\n`. This exhausts the server's direct memory pool (OutOfDirectMemoryError), preventing legitimate connections from being processed. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.

A flaw was found in netty-codec-redis. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted Redis payloads across multiple connections without proper termination. This can exhaust the server's direct memory pool, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition where legitimate connections cannot be processed.
