Descriptions
Netty before 4.1.42.Final mishandles whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers (such as a "Transfer-Encoding : chunked" line), which leads to HTTP request smuggling.
Netty versiones anteriores a 4.1.42.Final, maneja inapropiadamente los espacios en blanco antes de los dos puntos en los encabezados HTTP (tal y como una línea "Transfer-Encoding : chunked"), lo que conlleva al tráfico no autorizado de peticiones HTTP.
A flaw was found in Netty, where whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers is mishandled. This flaw allows an attacker to cause HTTP request smuggling.
