    <title>GHSA-8cfx-wx3q-mh5q — netty-incubator-codec-ohttp: Binary HTTP parser infinite loop on known-length field section boundary</title>

<p>## Summary</p>
<p>`io.netty.incubator:netty-incubator-codec-bhttp` can enter a non-terminating parse loop when a known-length Binary HTTP field section ends exactly after a complete field line. A remote peer that can send Binary HTTP input to a Netty pipeline using `BinaryHttpParser` / `BinaryHttpDecoder` can use a tiny malformed request or response to keep the parsing thread busy indefinitely, causing denial of service.</p>
<p>## Details</p>
<p>In `codec-bhttp/src/main/java/io/netty/incubator/codec/bhttp/BinaryHttpParser.java`, `readFieldSection(...)` tracks the remaining field-section length in `fieldSectionLength`, then repeatedly calls `readFieldLine(...)` until the length reaches zero:</p>
<p>- `readFieldSection(...)` parses the known-length field section and enters `while (fieldSectionLength != 0)` at `BinaryHttpParser.java:619`.
- Inside the loop, it records `readableBytes`, calls `readFieldLine(...)`, computes `read = readableBytes - in.readableBytes()`, asserts `read &gt; 0`, and subtracts `read` from `fieldSectionLength` at `BinaryHttpParser.java:620-625`.
- `readFieldLine(...)` returns `null` without consuming bytes when the field line ends exactly at the end of the readable slice because it uses `if (sumBytes &gt;= in.readableBytes()) return null` after adding the value length (`BinaryHttpParser.java:678-681`).
- With JVM assertions disabled (the production default), `assert read &gt; 0` is not active. The parser therefore subtracts zero forever and never returns.</p>
