{"cve":"CVE-2026-48006","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-12T16:16:30.450","modified":"2026-09-18T13:18:29.520","status":"Modified","description":"Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. Prior to versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, the RedisArrayAggregator handler permanently leaks pooled direct-memory buffers when a Redis pipeline connection closes before a RESP array aggregate completes. The handler retains child messages in per-handler state (`depths` field) but defines no `channelInactive`, `handlerRemoved`, or `exceptionCaught` method to release them when the pipeline tears down. Because the leaked buffers are slices of `PooledByteBufAllocator` chunks, they prevent those chunks from being returned to the JVM-wide direct-memory pool. Repeated connection churn by any network peer monotonically drains this shared pool, eventually causing allocation failures on all Netty channels in the process. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":8.7},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-401","CWE-772"],"references":["https://github.com/netty/netty/releases/tag/netty-4.1.135.Final","https://github.com/netty/netty/releases/tag/netty-4.2.15.Final","https://github.com/netty/netty/security/advisories/GHSA-6jv9-x5w9-2ccm","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:37390","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:41951"],"products":["netty:netty"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:38:48.522727527+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-48006","score":0.0074,"percentile":0.5464,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-6jv9-x5w9-2ccm","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-6jv9-x5w9-2ccm","summary":"Netty's Lack of Lifecycle Cleanup Leads to Pooled ByteBuf Leak in RedisArrayAggregator","modified":"2026-09-18T15:45:05.626467159Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"io.netty:netty-codec-redis","purl":"pkg:maven/io.netty/netty-codec-redis","ranges":[">=4.2.0.Final <4.2.15.Final"],"fixed":["4.2.15.Final"]},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"io.netty:netty-codec-redis","purl":"pkg:maven/io.netty/netty-codec-redis","ranges":["<4.1.135.Final"],"fixed":["4.1.135.Final"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
