AI-suggested

Until a patch is available, consider mitigating exposure by restricting access to services using the vulnerable Netty versions or applying network-level controls to block malformed STOMP frames.

Description

A vulnerability in Netty's StompSubframeDecoder component allows remote attackers to cause a permanent memory leak by sending a specially crafted STOMP frame body missing its terminating null byte. This memory leak can lead to denial of service (DoS) due to uncontrolled memory consumption. The issue affects specific Netty versions listed and has a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating a medium severity impact.
