Netty
Parameter Value
CVSS 9.1 (CRITICAL)
Affected Versions 4.2.0 — 4.2.16
Fixed In 4.1.136
Type CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation)
Vendor Netty
Public PoC No

Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.15.Final and prior to 4.1.135.Final, `OcspClient` does not validate that the `CertificateID` in an OCSP response matches the requested `CertificateID`, which can lead to replay attack. `OcspClient.validateResponse` accepts a legitimately signed `GOOD` status response for an unrelated certificate issued by the same CA, allowing bypass of revocation checks for another certificate. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final.
