Details

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.2.0.Final up to (but not including) 4.2.16.Final, and 4.1.0.Final up to (but not including) 4.1.135, the HAProxyMessageDecoder in Netty's codec-haproxy module performs protocol version detection by reading the 13th byte as a signed Java byte and widening it to int without masking; a PROXY protocol v2 binary prefix followed by version byte 0xFF sign-extends to -1, collides with the decoder's need-more-data sentinel, and causes ByteToMessageDecoder to accumulate inbound bytes in an unbounded cumulation buffer until direct memory is exhausted. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final.
