Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. In versions prior to 4.1.129.Final and 4.2.8.Final, the io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequestEncoder has a CRLF injection with the request URI when constructing a request. This leads to request smuggling when HttpRequestEncoder is used without proper sanitization of the URI. Any application / framework using HttpRequestEncoder can be subject to be abused to perform request smuggling using CRLF injection. Versions 4.1.129.Final and 4.2.8.Final fix the issue.
The product uses CRLF (carriage return line feeds) as a special element, e.g. to separate lines or records, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CRLF sequences from inputs.
