CVE-2026-116539 PUBLISHED

Netty netty-tcnative before 2.0.84.Final Heap Buffer Overflow via OpenSSL BIO

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 26.10.2026 Published: 26.10.2026 Updated: 26.10.2026

Netty netty-tcnative before 2.0.84.Final contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the tcn_write_to_bytebuffer BIO callback caused by failing to wrap the non-application ring buffer write index. Remote TLS peers can drive handshake, renegotiation, or post-handshake messages into this buffer, triggering an out-of-bounds memcpy that crashes the JVM process.
