SniHandler 16MB allocation leads to OOM
CVE: CVE-2023-34462
Component: netty
CWE: CWE-770
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 6.7/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-06-23T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in Netty's SniHandler while navigating TLS handshake which may permit a large heap allocation if the handler did not have a timeout configured. This issue may allow an attacker to send a client hello packet which would cause the server to buffer large amounts of data per connection, potentially causing an out of memory error, resulting in Denial of Service.
