CVE-2026-93494Io.netty/netty-codec-stomp: netty: bytebuf leak in stompsubframedecoder when a frame body is never terminated
High 7.5
In plain English
A high-severity security flaw in Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4 from Red Hat. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 35% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A flaw was found in Netty's StompSubframeDecoder component. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted STOMP frame body without its terminating null byte. This causes the decoder to allocate a ByteBuf (a buffer for bytes) that is never released, leading to a permanent memory leak. Over time, this uncontrolled memory consumption can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the application using the affected STOMP codec.
