Description
Netty netty-tcnative before 2.0.84.Final contains a denial of service vulnerability in the tcn_write_to_bytebuffer BIO write callback that overreports bytes consumed. Remote TLS 1.3 peers can provoke queued post-handshake records like NewSessionTicket or KeyUpdate to truncate flights, fail connections, or abort the JVM process.
