{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816","details":"Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to 4.2.16.Final, Netty's `Http3FrameCodec` buffers incoming data for HTTP/3 reserved frame types up to the wire-specified payload length without limits; `decodeFrame` trusts `payLoadLength`, allowing an attacker to open multiple QUIC streams and send reserved frames with very large payload lengths to cause memory exhaustion and denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.16.Final.","modified":"2026-09-10T16:30:29.990537161Z","published":"2026-07-21T22:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-56816"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-56816"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-56816"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-hpcc-26xq-25fv"}],"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","1:3.2.6.Final-2+deb8u2ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:3.2.6.Final-2+deb8u2ubuntu0.1~esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps-legacy%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","1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm4","1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm5"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:4.0.34-1ubuntu0.1~esm5"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816.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","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm6","1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm7"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.7-4ubuntu0.1+esm7","binary_name":"libnetty-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816.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","1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm6","1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm7"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.45-1ubuntu0.1~esm7","binary_name":"libnetty-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816.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","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.1+esm3","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.2","1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:4.1.48-4+deb11u2ubuntu0.2+esm1","binary_name":"libnetty-java"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816.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","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.1+esm3","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.2","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.2+esm1","1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.2+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-java","binary_version":"1:4.1.48-9ubuntu0.2+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-56816.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netty","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netty?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fresolute"},"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","1:4.1.48-16ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnetty-buffer-java","binary_version":"1:4.1.48-16ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"libnetty-common-java","binary_version":"1:4.1.48-16ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"libnet
