Netty 4.1.133.Final through 4.1.137.Final and 4.2.13.Final through 4.2.17.Final HTTP Request Smuggling via Transfer-Encoding

6.9 MediumFix available

Netty versions 4.1.133.Final through 4.1.137.Final and 4.2.13.Final through 4.2.17.Final fail to properly validate the final transfer coding in the Transfer-Encoding header, allowing attackers to smuggle requests by using malformed encoding declarations. Attackers can split Transfer-Encoding headers across multiple lines or use values like 'chunked, xchunked' to bypass validation and decode messages as chunked when the final coding is not chunked, enabling request smuggling attacks.
