Summary

The remote host is missing an update for the 'netty' package(s) announced via the DLA-2109-1 advisory.

Insight

Insight

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the HTTP server provided by Netty, a Java NIO client/server socket framework: CVE-2019-20444 HttpObjectDecoder.java allows an HTTP header that lacks a colon, which might be interpreted as a separate header with an incorrect syntax, or might be interpreted as an 'invalid fold.' CVE-2019-20445 HttpObjectDecoder.java allows a Content-Length header to be accompanied by a second Content-Length header, or by a Transfer-Encoding header. CVE-2020-7238 Netty allows HTTP Request Smuggling because it mishandles Transfer-Encoding whitespace (such as a [space]Transfer-Encoding:chunked line) and a later Content-Length header.
