Red Hat Netty: denial of service
High7.5CVE-2026-93491 · Published Sep 18, 2026 · updated Sep 22, 2026
A flaw was found in Netty's HttpServerCodec. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by pipelining HTTP/1.1 requests on a single connection and withholding reads. This action causes the methodOverflowQueue to grow without limit, leading to unbounded heap memory consumption and a denial of service due to memory exhaustion.
