Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for netty.

CVE-2024-29025[0]:
| Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework
| for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol
| servers & clients. The `HttpPostRequestDecoder` can be tricked to
| accumulate data. While the decoder can store items on the disk if
| configured so, there are no limits to the number of fields the form
| can have, an attacher can send a chunked post consisting of many
| small fields that will be accumulated in the `bodyListHttpData`
| list. The decoder cumulates bytes in the `undecodedChunk` buffer
| until it can decode a field, this field can cumulate data without
| limits. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.108.Final.
