CVE-2021-21295

Possible request smuggling in HTTP/2 due missing validation

CVSS 5.9 MEDIUMEPSS 18.9%CWE-444
Em resumo

O Netty não valida o cabeçalho Content-Length ao converter requisições HTTP/2 para HTTP/1.1, permitindo que atacantes contrabandeiem requisições maliciosas através de proxies ao escondê-las no corpo da mensagem.

Detalhe técnico

Requisições HTTP/2 com Content-Length inválido passam sem validação no Http2MultiplexHandler e Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec. Quando convertidas para HTTP/1.1 e encaminhadas para serviços backend, o Content-Length não verificado permite ataques de smuggling onde requisições adicionais podem ser injetadas no corpo e interpretadas como requisições separadas pelo parser HTTP/1.1 downstream.

Resumo gerado e traduzido por IA a partir da descrição oficial.
Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. In Netty (io.netty:netty-codec-http2) before version 4.1.60.Final there is a vulnerability that enables request smuggling. If a Content-Length header is present in the original HTTP/2 request, the field is not validated by `Http2MultiplexHandler` as it is propagated up. This is fine as long as the request is not proxied through as HTTP/1.1. If the request comes in as an HTTP/2 stream, gets converted into the HTTP/1.1 domain objects (`HttpRequest`, `HttpContent`, etc.) via `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec `and then sent up to the child channel's pipeline and proxied through a remote peer as HTTP/1.1 this may result in request smuggling. In a proxy case, users may assume the content-length is validated somehow, which is not the case. If the request is forwarded to a backend channel that is a HTTP/1.1 connection, the Content-Length now has meaning and needs to be checked. An attacker can smuggle requests inside the body as it gets downgraded from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1.1. For an example attack refer to the linked GitHub Advisory. Users are only affected if all of this is true: `HTTP2MultiplexCodec` or `Http2FrameCodec` is used, `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec` is used to convert to HTTP/1.1 objects, and these HTTP/1.1 objects are forwarded to another remote peer. This has been patched in 4.1.60.Final As a workaround, the user can do the validation by themselves by implementing a custom `ChannelInboundHandler` that is put in the `ChannelPipeline` behind `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec`.
