Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-66566)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the application insufficiently clears the output buffer in Java-based decompressor implementations. In applications where the output buffer is reused without being cleared, this may lead to disclosure of sensitive data.

Note, JNI-based implementations are not affected.


2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-2332)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary HTTP requests.

The vulnerability exists due to inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests in the chunked transfer encoding extension parser when parsing quoted strings in HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer encoding extension values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted chunked HTTP request to inject arbitrary HTTP requests.

The issue occurs because CRLF sequences inside quoted strings are treated as chunk header terminators instead of parsing errors.
