{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579","details":"Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, Netty's DNS codec does not enforce RFC 1035 domain name constraints during either encoding or decoding. This creates a bidirectional attack surface: malicious DNS responses can exploit the decoder, and user-influenced hostnames can exploit the encoder. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final.","modified":"2026-05-20T22:01:38.040553667Z","published":"2026-05-13T19:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-42579"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-42579"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-42579"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-cm33-6792-r9fm"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:3.2.6.Final-2","1:3.2.6.Final-2+deb8u2build0.14.04.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:3.2.6.Final-2+deb8u2build0.14.04.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:3.2.6.Final-2","1:4.0.32-1","1:4.0.33-1","1:4.0.34-1","1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:4.1.7-4","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1~esm1","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm1","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm2","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm3","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm4","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:4.1.33-1","1:4.1.33-2","1:4.1.33-3","1:4.1.45-1","1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm3","1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:4.1.48-4","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u1build0.22.04.1","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2build0.22.04.1","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.1~esm1","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.1~esm2","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.1","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.1+esm1","binary_name":"libnetty-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:4.1.48-7","1:4.1.48-8","1:4.1.48-9","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.1~esm1","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.1~esm2","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.1","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.1+esm1","binary_name":"libnetty-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:4.1.48-10","1:4.1.48-10ubuntu0.25.10.1","1:4.1.48-10ubuntu0.25.10.2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.48-10ubuntu0.25.10.2","binary_name":"libnetty-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42579.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1:4.1.48-10","1:4.1.48-11","1:4.1.48-12","1:4.1.48-13","1:4.1.48-14","1:4.1.48-16"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.48-16","binary_name":"libnetty-buffer-java"},{"binary_name":"libnetty-common-java","binary_version":
