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-2026-46340 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- io.netty:netty-transport-sctp (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.135.Final\n- io.netty:netty-transport-sctp (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.135.Final\n- io.netty:netty-transport-sctp (Maven): affected from 4.2.0.Final; fixed in 4.2.15.Final\n- io.netty:netty-transport-sctp (Maven): affected from 4.2.0.Final; fixed in 4.2.15.Final\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-2026-46340/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46340/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-46340","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46340/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-46340","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-IX07149","CLEANSTART-2026-KX41856","CLEANSTART-2026-RW47187","CLSA-2026-1784164029","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46340","GHSA-5xrh-qmmq-w6ch","MINI-2g5f-79xf-xqcp","MINI-66xh-gc9p-8w39","MINI-9qqq-6j9m-vrh5","MINI-g83f-j9v6-mcgw","MINI-hrc2-2p52-c3vj","MINI-m7g8-398x-w3jm","MINI-pp8j-3qr3-g434","MINI-qh36-8746-66cv","MINI-rf58-9hqj-h44g","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46340"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java network framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Netty SCTP handlers by sending fragmented messages that create unbounded nested buffer structures.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"netty","vendor":"netty"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In versions of netty-transport-sctp prior to 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final, for each non-complete SctpMessage fragment the handler does `fragments.put(streamId, Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(frag, byteBuf))`, wrapping the previous accumulator and the new slice into a *new* CompositeByteBuf every time. After N fragments the accumulator is an N-deep chain of composites, each holding references and component arrays; readableBytes()/getBytes() on the final buffer recurse N levels. There is no limit on N, on total bytes, or on the number of streamIdentifiers an attacker can open (each gets its own map entry). A peer that never sets the `complete` flag can grow this structure indefinitely from tiny 1-byte DATA chunks. Versions 4.1.135.Final and 4.2.15.Final patch the issue.","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":"Netty: SCTP reassembly nests buffers without bound","id":"CVE-2026-46340","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"netty:netty","products":["netty:netty"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Apify MCP server: Domain Allowlist Bypass in fetch-apify-docs via String Prefix Matching","id":"CVE-2026-46341"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.1.135.Final"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.netty:netty-transport-sctp","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5xrh-qmmq-w6ch"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.1.135.Final"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.netty:netty-transport-sctp","purl":"pkg:maven/io.netty/netty-transport-sctp","source":"GHSA-5xrh-qmmq-w6ch"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.2.15.Final"],"introduced":["4.2.0.Final"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.netty:netty-transport-sctp","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5xrh-qmmq-w6ch"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.2.15.Final"],"introduced":["4.2.0.Final"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.netty:netty-transport-sctp","purl":"pkg:maven/io.netty/netty-transport-sctp","source":"GHSA-5xrh-qmmq-w6ch"}],"prev":{"headline":"9Router: Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via unprotected MCP custom plugin routes","id":"CVE-2026-46339"},"products":["netty"],"published":"2026-06-12","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-18","vendors":["netty"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Netty SCTP handlers by sending fragmented messages that create unbounded nested buffer structures.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-46340/"}
