The ZlibDecoders in Netty 4.1.x before 4.1.46 allow for unbounded memory allocation while decoding a ZlibEncoded byte stream.
HIGH 7.5EPSS 9.44%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.44%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The ZlibDecoders in Netty 4.1.x before 4.1.46 allow for unbounded memory allocation while decoding a ZlibEncoded byte stream. An attacker could send a large ZlibEncoded byte stream to the Netty server, forcing the server to allocate all of its free memory to a single decoder.
