RHSA-2026:50085 PUBLISHED CVSS 5.300000190734863 MEDIUM

A flaw was found in Netty. A remote attacker can bypass the configured decompression limit in the HttpContentDecompressor by sending a specially crafted compressed payload using Brotli (br), Zstandard (zstd), or Snappy content encodings. This can lead to unbounded memory allocation, resulting in an out-of-memory Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
