Netty has an IPv6 Subnet Filter Bypass via Incorrect Comparator Masking

CVE-2026-44249 / GHSA-3qp7-7mw8-wx86

More information

Details

Summary

An attacker can bypass IPv6 subnet rules due to an incorrect masking operation in IpSubnetFilterRule.compareTo(). Valid public IP addresses can bypass the restrictions.

Details

io.netty.handler.ipfilter.IpSubnetFilterRule#compareTo(java.net.InetSocketAddress) method performs a bitwise AND between the incoming IP address and the configured networkAddress, instead of the subnetMask.

Impact

Access Control Bypass. Attacker can bypass IpSubnetFilter IPv6 access controls.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 8.1 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Netty: SNI handler pre-allocates up to 16 MiB from nine attacker bytes

CVE-2026-45416 / GHSA-x4gw-5cx5-pgmh

More information

Details

SslClientHelloHandler.decode() reads the 24-bit TLS handshake length and, when the ClientHello does not fit in the first record, eagerly allocates ctx.alloc().buffer(handshakeLength) (line 161). The guard at line 140 is handshakeLength > maxClientHelloLength && maxClientHelloLength != 0, and the commonly-used SniHandler/AbstractSniHandler constructors (SniHandler(Mapping), SniHandler(AsyncMapping), AbstractSniHandler()) pass maxClientHelloLength=0 and handshakeTimeoutMillis=0, so the length guard is disabled and no timeout is scheduled. A 16 MiB request exceeds the default pooled chunk size and becomes a huge/unpooled allocation performed immediately. The buffer is retained in the handler until the channel closes.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 7.5 / 10 (High)
  • Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Netty: Wrapping plain trust manager silently disables hostname verification

CVE-2026-50010 / GHSA-c653-97m9-rcg9

More information

Details

SimpleTrustManagerFactory.engineGetTrustManagers() and related paths wrap any user-supplied plain X509TrustManager in X509TrustManagerWrapper, which extends X509ExtendedTrustManager but implements the 3-arg checkServerTrusted(chain, authType, SSLEngine) by discarding the SSLEngine and calling the 2-arg delegate. Because the object now IS an X509ExtendedTrustManager, neither SunJSSE's internal AbstractTrustManagerWrapper nor Netty's own OpenSslX509TrustManagerWrapper will re-wrap it to add endpoint-identification. Consequently, even though Netty 4.2 sets endpointIdentificationAlgorithm="HTTPS" by default, a client built with SslContextBuilder.forClient().trustManager(somePlainX509TrustManager) performs no hostname verification at all.

Severity
