Atlassian recommends that Jira Software Data Center customers upgrade to latest version, if you are unable to do so, upgrade your instance to one of the specified supported fixed versions: * Jira Software Data Center 9.12: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 9.12.38 * Jira Software Data Center 10.3: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 10.3.22 * Jira Software Data Center 11.3: Upgrade to a release greater than or equal to 11.3.7 See the release notes (https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download-archives). You can download the latest version of Jira Software Data Center from the download center (https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/download-archives). The National Vulnerability Database provides the following description for this vulnerability: Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. Prior to 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final, HttpContentDecompressor accepts a maxAllocation parameter to limit decompression buffer size and prevent decompression bomb attacks. This limit is correctly enforced for gzip and deflate encodings via ZlibDecoder, but is silently ignored when the content encoding is br (Brotli), zstd, or snappy. An attacker can bypass the configured decompression limit by sending a compressed payload with Content-Encoding: br instead of Content-Encoding: gzip, causing unbounded memory allocation and out-of-memory denial of service. The same vulnerability exists in DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener for HTTP/2 connections. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.2.13.Final and 4.1.133.Final.
