Summary

In io.netty/netty-codec-memcache, the Memcache binary protocol codec reads keyLength and extrasLength as signed Java types instead of unsigned as specified. A malicious Memcache server can exploit this by sending a crafted response, leading to frame desynchronization and response smuggling.

Risk Assessment

In proxy or cache environments, one client's data may be inadvertently exposed to another client's response stream.

Recommendation

Upgrade netty-codec-memcache to a patched version or apply mitigations preventing frame desynchronization.

Original NVD description (English source)

A flaw was found in io.netty/netty-codec-memcache. The Memcache binary protocol codec incorrectly reads `keyLength` and `extrasLength` as signed Java types instead of unsigned, as specified by the protocol. A malicious Memcache server can exploit this type mismatch by sending a specially crafted response. This can lead to frame desynchronization and response smuggling, where one client's data may be inadvertently exposed to another client's response stream in proxy or cache environments.
