DescriptionNVD

Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') vulnerability in Erlang OTP (inets httpd module) allows HTTP Request Smuggling.

This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/inets/src/http_server/httpd_request.erl and program routines httpd_request:parse_headers/7.

The server does not reject or normalize duplicate Content-Length headers. The earliest Content-Length in the request is used for body parsing while common reverse proxies (nginx, Apache httpd, Envoy) honor the last Content-Length value. This violates RFC 9112 Section 6.3 and allows front-end/back-end desynchronization, leaving attacker-controlled bytes queued as the start of the next request.

This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 until OTP 28.4.1, OTP 27.3.4.9 and OTP 26.2.5.18, corresponding to inets from 5.10 until 9.6.1, 9.3.2.3 and 9.1.0.5.

AnalysisAI

A critical HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability exists in Erlang OTP's inets httpd module that allows attackers to desynchronize front-end and back-end servers by exploiting inconsistent Content-Length header parsing. The vulnerability affects Erlang OTP versions from 17.0 through 28.4.0 (inets 5.10 through 9.6.0) and enables attackers to bypass security controls, potentially poisoning web caches or accessing unauthorized resources. …
