Lack of data validation In io.netty:netty-codec-http

Description

Netty is an asynchronous, event-driven network application framework. In versions prior to 4.1.129.Final and 4.2.8.Final, the io.netty.handler.codec.http.HttpRequestEncoder has a CRLF injection with the request URI when constructing a request. This leads to request smuggling when HttpRequestEncoder is used without proper sanitization of the URI. Any application / framework using HttpRequestEncoder can be subject to be abused to perform request smuggling using CRLF injection. Versions 4.1.129.Final and 4.2.8.Final fix the issue.
