Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Netty. This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality of the component Source Connection ID Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a random values vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-330. The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to version 4.2.15.Final, Netty QUIC exposes the stateless reset token on the network path when using the default HMAC-based connection-ID and stateless-reset-token generators. The reset token for the server's current source connection ID can be derived from bytes that appear as the connection ID in QUIC headers after a source-CID rotation. An on-path attacker observing the headers can use the token to perform a Denial of Service by sending a spoofed Stateless Reset packet. Version 4.2.15.Final patches the issue.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-50009 since 06/03/2026. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1600.001 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 4.2.15.Final eliminates this vulnerability. The upgrade is hosted for download at github.com.
