An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2014-3488 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- io.netty:netty-handler (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 3.9.2\n- io.netty:netty-handler (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 3.9.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2014-3488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3488/index.md","name":"CVE-2014-3488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9959-6p3m-wxpc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java networking library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite loop and CPU consumption in Netty's SslHandler using crafted SSLv2Hello messages.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"netty","vendor":"netty"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The SslHandler in Netty before 3.9.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted SSLv2Hello message.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in Netty","id":"CVE-2014-3488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"netty:netty","products":["netty:netty"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2014"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3489"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.9.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.netty:netty-handler","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-9959-6p3m-wxpc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.9.2"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.netty:netty-handler","purl":"pkg:maven/io.netty/netty-handler","source":"GHSA-9959-6p3m-wxpc"}],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3487"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-07-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Netty: SNI Routing Bypass via Fragmented TLS ClientHello Causing Fallback to Default SslContext","id":"CVE-2026-75595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Netty: Fragmented ClientHello records trigger quadratic pre-handshake reassembly in default SNI parsing","id":"CVE-2026-75596","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Netty Bzip2Decoder: Infinite Loop in RLE State Machine Leads to Event-Loop Thread Hang","id":"CVE-2026-59901","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-29"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Netty codec-haproxy: Signed-Byte Sentinel Collision in HAProxyMessageDecoder Leads to Unbounded Memory Exhaustion","id":"CVE-2026-55851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-21"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Netty SpdyHttpDecoder: ByteBuf Reference Leak on RST_STREAM Leads to Native Memory Exhaustion","id":"CVE-2026-56745","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-21"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Netty Vulnerable to DNS Cache Poisoning via Missing Bailiwick Checks in CNAME Records","id":"CVE-2026-45674","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Netty has Insufficient Bailiwick Validation for NS Records","id":"CVE-2026-47691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite loop and CPU consumption in Netty's SslHandler using crafted SSLv2Hello messages.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2014-3488/"}
