      <title>GHSA-v8h7-rr48-vmmv — Netty: Start-Line Injection in DefaultHttpRequest.setUri() Allows HTTP Request Smuggling and RTSP Request Injection</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/ghsa-v8h7-rr48-vmmv</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Maven: io.netty:netty-codec-http&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Summary
Netty allows request-line validation to be bypassed when a `DefaultHttpRequest` or `DefaultFullHttpRequest` is created first and its URI is later changed via `setUri()`.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The constructors reject CRLF and whitespace characters that would break the start-line, but `setUri()` does not apply the same validation. `HttpRequestEncoder` and `RtspEncoder` then write the URI into the request line verbatim. If attacker-controlled input reaches `setUri()`, this enables CRLF injection and insertion of additional HTTP or RTSP requests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In practice, this leads to HTTP request smuggling / desynchronization on the HTTP side and request injection on the RTSP side.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Details
The root issue is that URI validation exists only on the constructor path, but not on the public setter path.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- `io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultHttpRequest`
  - The constructor calls `HttpUtil.validateRequestLineTokens(method, uri)`
  - `setUri(String uri)` only performs `checkNotNull` and does not validate
- `io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultFullHttpRequest`
  - `setUri(String uri)` delegates to the parent implementation
- `io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequestEncoder`
  - Writes `request.uri()` directly into the request line
- `io.netty.handler.codec.rtsp.RtspEncoder`
  - Writes `request.uri()` directly into the request line&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This creates the following bypass:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. An application creates a `DefaultHttpRequest` or `DefaultFullHttpRequest` with a safe URI
2. Later, attacker-influenced input is passe…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
