Resource exhaustion in Netty - CVE-2026-47244

Vulnerability identifier: #VU133445

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-47244

CWE-ID: CWE-400

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in the HTTP/2 stream management logic when handling HTTP/2 connections without an explicitly configured concurrent stream limit. A remote attacker can open a large number of streams over a single TCP connection to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when the application does not explicitly configure a maximum concurrent streams setting.
