{"id":"CVE-2026-42582","summary":"Netty: HTTP/3 QPACK literal unbounded allocation","details":"Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final, when decoding header blocks, the non-Huffman branch of io.netty.handler.codec.http3.QpackDecoder#decodeHuffmanEncodedLiteral may execute new byte[length] for a string literal before verifying that length bytes are actually present in the compressed field section. The wire encoding allows a very large length to be expressed in few bytes. There is no check that length \u003c= in.readableBytes() before new byte[length]. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final.","aliases":["GHSA-2c5c-chwr-9hqw"],"modified":"2026-06-10T08:44:15.771397135Z","published":"2026-05-13T18:06:55.559Z","related":["CGA-hr83-cwqv-8752","SUSE-SU-2026:2308-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:10795-1"],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-770","CWE-789"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/42xxx/CVE-2026-42582.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/42xxx/CVE-2026-42582.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-2c5c-chwr-9hqw"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-42582"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/netty/netty","events":[{"introduced":"5451fbb0effd8460f57013bb33aefeb953144ed9"},{"fixed":"b3844c8108b42f68d56144b36d4d1ed96078a688"}]}],"versions":["netty-4.2.12.Final","netty-4.2.11.Final","netty-4.2.10.Final","netty-4.2.9.Final","netty-4.2.8.Final","netty-4.2.7.Final","netty-4.2.6.Final","netty-4.2.5.Final","netty-4.2.4.Final","netty-4.2.3.Final","netty-4.2.2.Final","netty-4.2.1.Final","netty-4.2.0.Final","netty-4.2.0.RC4","netty-4.2.0.RC3","netty-4.2.0.RC2","netty-4.2.0.RC1","netty-4.2.0.Beta1","netty-4.2.0.Alpha5","netty-4.2.0.Alpha4","netty-4.2.0.Alpha3","netty-4.2.0.Alpha2","netty-4.2.0.Alpha1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-42582.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
