An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.

Description:

This update for netty, netty-tcnative fixes the following issues:

  • CVE-2025-24970: incorrect validation of packets by SslHandler can lead to a native crash. (bsc#1237037)
  • CVE-2025-25193: unsafe reading of environment files can lead to an application crash. (bsc#1237038)

Update to netty version 4.1.118 and netty-tcnative version 2.0.70 Final.

Other fixes:

  • Fix recycling in CodecOutputList.
  • StreamBufferingEncoder: do not send header frame with priority by default.
  • Notify event loop termination future of unexpected exceptions.
  • Fix AccessControlException in GlobalEventExecutor.
  • AdaptivePoolingAllocator: round chunk sizes up and reduce chunk release frequency.
  • Support BouncyCastle FIPS for reading PEM files.
  • Dns: correctly encode DnsPtrRecord.
  • Provide Brotli settings without com.aayushatharva.brotli4j dependency.
  • Make DefaultResourceLeak more resilient against OOM.
  • OpenSslSession: add support to defensively check for peer certs.
  • SslHandler: ensure buffers are never leaked when wrap(...) produces SSLException.
  • Correcly handle comments appended to nameserver declarations.
  • PcapWriteHandler: apply fixes so that the handler can append to an existing PCAP file when writing the global header.
  • PcapWriteHandler: allow output of PCAP files larger than 2GB.
  • Fix bugs in BoundedInputStream.
  • Fix HTTP header validation bug.
  • AdaptivePoolingAllocator: fix possible race condition in method offerToQueue(...).
  • AdaptivePoolingAllocator: make sure the sentinel object Magazine.MAGAZINE_FREED not be replaced.
  • Only try to use Zstd and Brotli if the native libs can be loaded.
  • Bump BlockHound version to 1.0.10.RELEASE.
  • Add details to TooLongFrameException message.
  • AdaptivePoolingAllocator: correctly reuse chunks.
  • AdaptivePoolingAllocator: don't fail when we run on a host with 1 core.
  • AdaptivePoolingAllocator: correctly re-use central queue chunks and avoid OOM issue.
  • Fix several memory management (leaks and missing checks) issues.
