Improper resource allocation In netty

Description

A flaw was found in Netty's RedisArrayAggregator component. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted nested Redis (RESP) array headers. This can cause the RedisArrayAggregator to eagerly preallocate a large amount of heap memory, leading to heap memory exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) for applications using RedisDecoder with RedisArrayAggregator on untrusted traffic.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
