{"id":"CVE-2026-55831","aliases":["GHSA-6jqx-86gh-f27w"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55831","summary":"Netty SPDY SETTINGS frame count materializes unbounded settings map","details":"Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final, Netty's SPDY SETTINGS decoder accepts a peer-declared SETTINGS entry count up to the 24-bit frame-length limit and materializes every unique setting ID in `DefaultSpdySettingsFrame`, allowing a remote SPDY/3.1 peer to send a syntactically valid roughly 2 MiB SETTINGS frame that creates 262144 map entries and amplifies network input into heap growth and ordered-map insertion work. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final.","published":"2026-07-20T23:00:31.859Z","modified":"2026-08-12T16:09:48.093704Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":{"score":0.00439,"percentile":0.36793,"asOf":"2026-09-04"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"io.netty:netty-codec-http","fixedVersion":"4.2.16.Final"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"io.netty:netty-codec-http","fixedVersion":"4.1.136.Final"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/commit/5b68c61f37aa4a3045cba624cbea239655c9003b","label":"netty/netty@5b68c61"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/releases/tag/netty-4.1.136.Final"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/releases/tag/netty-4.2.16.Final"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/55xxx/CVE-2026-55831.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-6jqx-86gh-f27w"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-55831"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/commit/5b68c61f37aa4a3045cba624cbea239655c9003b"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/commit/bb2ff68a1fb71cb4b0eb9a9e17b66c52aff680c6"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T16:09:48.093704Z"}}
