Context & Problem
GitHub Security Alert (Dependabot alert #111) flagged
io.netty:netty-codec-httpfor a moderate-severity DoS vulnerability (GHSA-q4f6-jm68-57ww): unbounded per-connection queue growth via HTTP/1.1 pipelining inHttpContentEncoder, affecting versions >= 4.2.0.Final and <= 4.2.15.Final, fixed in Netty 4.2.16.Final. The repo already has aresolutionStrategyoverride pinningio.nettyto4.2.15.Finalfrom a previous round of CVE fixes (USPR-13707), which needed to be bumped. See USPR-13770.Solution
Bumped the existing
io.nettyresolutionStrategy.eachDependencyoverride inbuild.gradle(the same mechanism used for prior Netty/Jackson/Logback/Tomcat CVE fixes) so it now forces anyio.nettydependency below4.2.16.Finalup to4.2.16.Final, and added the GHSA-q4f6-jm68-57ww reference to thebecause()comment alongside the existing advisory list. No new override block was introduced — this is a version-threshold bump within the pre-existing pattern, consistent with how the prior CVE round was handled.Verification
