------------------------------------------
Summary: CVE-2019-16869(Netty is vulnerable to HTTP Request
Smuggling) of severity 7.5
Key: CASSANDRA-15417
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15417
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Abhishek Singh
*Description :*
*Severity :* CVE CVSS 3: 7.5Sonatype CVSS 3: 7.5
*Weakness :* CVE CWE: 444
*Source :* National Vulnerability Database
*Categories :* Data
*Description from CVE :* Netty before 4.1.42.Final mishandles whitespace before
the colon in HTTP headers , which leads to HTTP request smuggling.
*Explanation :* Netty is vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling. The splitHeader
method in HttpObjectDecoder.class does not properly handle HTTP headers
containing whitespace between the header field-name and colon. An attacker can
exploit this by sending such a header containing this white space and have the
header end up being parsed by one endpoint and not another, due to
inconsistencies in how the whitespace in the header is handled.
*Detection :* The application is vulnerable by using this component.
*Recommendation :* We recommend upgrading to a version of this component that
is not vulnerable to this specific issue.
*Root Cause :*
apache-cassandra-3.11.4-bin.tar.gzio/netty/handler/codec/http/HttpObjectDecoder.class
: [4.0.0.Beta1, 4.1.42.Final]
*Advisories :* Project: [https://github.com/netty/netty/issues/9571]
