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-2026-75596 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 4.1.137.Final\n- io.netty:netty-handler (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.1.137.Final\n- io.netty:netty-handler (Maven): affected from 4.2.0.Final; fixed in 4.2.17.Final\n- io.netty:netty-handler (Maven): affected from 4.2.0.Final; fixed in 4.2.17.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-2026-75596/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-75596/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-75596","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-75596/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-75596","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-BB16699","CLEANSTART-2026-BL22559","CLEANSTART-2026-BP52877","CLEANSTART-2026-CQ05064","CLEANSTART-2026-EO12643","CLEANSTART-2026-LV23492","CLEANSTART-2026-OS42010","CLEANSTART-2026-XL02389","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-75596","ECHO-01bb-63a2-3001","GHSA-fccg-mwvh-qqg4","MINI-2wcq-j599-xcrc","MINI-32rf-23mg-c6q4","MINI-3497-rgmq-fqgr","MINI-34vg-fwcq-w6v6","MINI-3pwh-r8jx-9rcj","MINI-3rh7-2783-5gc5","MINI-44c6-2v9q-hxrj","MINI-47hf-jff5-x5cg","MINI-4cw3-p9hp-g845","MINI-4pw6-58r5-85q2","MINI-52x5-w7cr-j43m","MINI-53cp-fq22-px8x","MINI-53w4-qcc2-rcqc","MINI-57cr-jxq4-v4m4","MINI-58f9-vjq5-gppm","MINI-5j7q-q382-7m26","MINI-5m99-gwrc-j2cj","MINI-5xcr-mcmw-43cg","MINI-6358-6q6r-9424","MINI-64pj-xxh6-4xrq","MINI-6g57-7fx9-5gm9","MINI-6hgp-3mj9-2ff9","MINI-6pj5-qw7g-5vvh","MINI-6rqx-3r9h-3m64","MINI-7363-v7cm-qx43","MINI-736x-m87g-cc22","MINI-7627-vw2r-2jg3","MINI-78c8-wx48-7wh9","MINI-78cj-3r8v-3pmv","MINI-78jf-cf3m-wfxx","MINI-7fmc-rw26-3fm4","MINI-7jq4-p6r5-q8qp","MINI-7v48-xxwx-j89p","MINI-7vh9-f6rm-fjh4","MINI-849c-xp5f-38p2","MINI-85q2-ch5j-qx2j","MINI-868w-prcr-32v7","MINI-8j74-pfvh-q8vw","MINI-8pw8-q3pf-3fq4","MINI-8vwg-q52w-h9p8","MINI-8wrj-ff7x-p7x7","MINI-92rj-h525-64j3","MINI-959g-gpww-3fj4","MINI-98m9-94qh-2vg7","MINI-9h7v-296h-6g8f","MINI-9vvv-vm58-24mc","MINI-9xmc-q25g-phc7","MINI-c2xc-g6ph-9vf3","MINI-c4f9-pr8v-7phx","MINI-c588-4qqv-4rjh","MINI-c8mq-935p-446f","MINI-f3m8-cpfx-x578","MINI-f779-rj2w-h463","MINI-fghq-xf3j-ff93","MINI-fhrx-q9gj-334p","MINI-fp7f-c7f3-rm38","MINI-fqpc-jqj7-gjcv","MINI-frrv-p37j-gp9g","MINI-fw26-gxmm-w9mr","MINI-fw8p-99h8-r8q4","MINI-g3v8-mh9v-hj59","MINI-g5cr-qg3c-7wrw","MINI-g5w9-6v67-2wv8","MINI-g8mj-x7h9-9gwf","MINI-gf4w-j7gr-h2x5","MINI-gq2h-548x-wgm8","MINI-h35j-652r-prhx","MINI-h6g2-9j64-82cc","MINI-hc4r-g8xm-m5w3","MINI-hf84-h4pg-4cqh","MINI-hfv9-jhv7-3272","MINI-hprq-927j-6xx4","MINI-hq88-h9rc-m5xq","MINI-hxc8-v22f-rpv9","MINI-j6g7-rpch-qh2p","MINI-j6rq-75fq-cpxv","MINI-j7jm-jr3p-4q4r","MINI-j9mc-6ph6-pvfg","MINI-jghg-3465-fpvr","MINI-jpr3-gjg7-9gh4","MINI-jvm8-5x7h-r83c","MINI-m8qm-mrmv-cx54","MINI-mmh2-53c7-hhxq","MINI-mpj8-hhmc-vx3c","MINI-p393-6cf5-xr5f","MINI-p4wh-rwx9-gv8c","MINI-p7ch-cq8p-pq6g","MINI-ppp4-w4pr-78c7","MINI-pqxr-c2jv-q7p8","MINI-pvmx-rcww-x9gg","MINI-qgvq-4vxq-c6wp","MINI-qp3m-439r-jm7c","MINI-qw98-777w-92wh","MINI-r5g8-85gp-7gh2","MINI-rfg3-c36m-pfrq","MINI-rgw9-9qgc-65gr","MINI-rj84-67r2-x7w4","MINI-rrhc-jwvg-39wx","MINI-v2x5-x2q5-39vx","MINI-v775-93qw-jr97","MINI-v7w8-7m57-c6r6","MINI-vqff-9hf5-mj5h","MINI-wfwh-j947-q68r","MINI-wm62-4p5g-f75f","MINI-wqrf-7r6q-2xp8","MINI-wrc9-89ch-vjrq","MINI-wrfq-vgcw-6h4q","MINI-wrh6-63r4-px6j","MINI-wv38-5hhr-2h27","MINI-wxr4-qr87-m684","MINI-x23c-xvm3-6g8m","MINI-x3f4-wc2w-29mp","MINI-xp3m-vg58-34h6","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-75596"],"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":"Remote attackers can cause CPU exhaustion and service degradation by sending fragmented TLS ClientHello records to applications using the default SNI handler.","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":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-407","name":"Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity"}],"description":"Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework.

An unauthenticated remote peer can advertise a large ClientHello and deliver its body in thousands of tiny records, causing quadratic CPU work on the event loop before the TLS handshake completes and degrading TLS handling for other clients.
