      <title>GHSA-cm33-6792-r9fm — Netty has a DNS Codec Input Validation Bypass (Encoder + Decoder)</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/ghsa-cm33-6792-r9fm</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Maven: io.netty:netty-codec-dns&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# Security Vulnerability Report: DNS Codec Input Validation Bypass in Netty (Encoder + Decoder)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## 1. Vulnerability Summary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Product** | Netty |
| **Version** | 4.2.12.Final (and all prior versions with codec-dns) |
| **Component** | `io.netty.handler.codec.dns.DnsCodecUtil` |
| **Vulnerability Type** | CWE-20: Improper Input Validation / CWE-626: Null Byte Interaction Error / CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption |
| **Impact** | DNS Cache Poisoning / Domain Validation Bypass / Denial of Service / Malformed DNS Packets |&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## 2. Affected Components&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both the encoder and decoder in the same file are affected:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- `io.netty.handler.codec.dns.DnsCodecUtil` — `encodeDomainName()` method (lines 31-51):
  - No null byte validation in domain name labels
  - No per-label length validation (RFC 1035 max: 63 bytes)
  - No total domain name length validation (RFC 1035 max: 255 bytes)
  - Empty labels silently truncate the domain name&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- `io.netty.handler.codec.dns.DnsCodecUtil` — `decodeDomainName()` method (lines 53-118):
  - No per-label length validation (max 63)
  - No total domain name length validation (max 255)
  - Unbounded StringBuilder growth from attacker-controlled DNS responses&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;## 3. Vulnerability Description&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Netty&amp;#39;s DNS codec does **not enforce RFC 1035 domain name constraints** during either encoding or decoding. This creates a bidirectional attack surface: malicious DNS responses can exploit the decoder, and user-influenced…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
