Details

Bzip2Decoder doesn't allow setting size restrictions for decompressed data ### Impact The Bzip2 decompression decoder function doesn't allow setting size restrictions on the decompressed output data (which affects the allocation size used during decompression). All users of Bzip2Decoder are affected. The malicious input can trigger an OOME and so a DoS attack ### Workarounds No workarounds other than not using the `Bzip2Decoder` ### References Relevant code areas: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/netty-4.1.67.Final/codec/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/compression/Bzip2Decoder.java#L80 https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/netty-4.1.67.Final/codec/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/compression/Bzip2Decoder.java#L294 https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/netty-4.1.67.Final/codec/src/main/java/io/netty/handler/codec/compression/Bzip2Decoder.java#L305
