Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for netty.
CVE-2021-43797[0]:
| Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework
| for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol
| servers & clients. Netty prior to version 4.1.7.1.Final skips
| control chars when they are present at the beginning / end of the
| header name. It should instead fail fast as these are not allowed by
| the spec and could lead to HTTP request smuggling. Failing to do the
| validation might cause netty to "sanitize" header names before it
| forward these to another remote system when used as proxy. This remote
| system can't see the invalid usage anymore, and therefore does not do
| the validation itself. Users should upgrade to version 4.1.7.1.Final
| to receive a patch.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
