Improper Input Validation

CVE-2025-24970

High
7.5/10

Summary

Netty, an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework, has a vulnerability in version 4.1.91.Final through 4.1.117.Final and 4.2.0.Alpha1 through 4.2.0.RC2. When a specially crafted packet is received via SslHandler, it doesn't correctly handle the validation of such a packet in all cases, which can lead to a native crash. As a workaround, it's possible to either disable the usage of the native SSLEngine or change the code manually.
