Netty netty-tcnative before 2.0.84.Final Heap Buffer Overflow via OpenSSL BIO

Published Oct 26, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Netty netty-tcnative before 2.0.84.Final contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the tcn_write_to_bytebuffer BIO callback caused by failing to wrap the non-application ring buffer write index. Remote TLS peers can drive handshake, renegotiation, or post-handshake messages into this buffer, triggering an out-of-bounds memcpy that crashes the JVM process.
