AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Unauthenticated remote attacker sends a simple malformed STOMP frame (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); cumulative unreleased buffers cause full DoS (A:H) with no confidentiality or integrity impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in Netty's StompSubframeDecoder component. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted STOMP frame body without its terminating null byte. This causes the decoder to allocate a ByteBuf (a buffer for bytes) that is never released, leading to a permanent memory leak. Over time, this uncontrolled memory consumption can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the application using the affected STOMP codec.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote attackers can cause a gradual denial of service in applications that use Netty's STOMP codec by sending a STOMP frame body without the terminating null byte; StompSubframeDecoder leaks a ByteBuf for each such frame, so sustained traffic exhausts JVM heap or direct memory. The issue carries CVSS 3.1 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), meaning network-reachable, no authentication or user interaction, availability-only impact. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application uses Netty's STOMP codec - specifically the StompSubframeDecoder - on a network endpoint the attacker can reach; the trigger is a STOMP frame whose body is sent without its terminating null byte. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 7.5) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, availability-only denial of service - no confidentiality or integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Exact fixed versions are not provided in the supplied data, so patch status should be confirmed via Red Hat's CVE page (https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-93494) and Bugzilla 2536898; apply vendor errata for the affected Red Hat product or upgrade the Netty dependency as soon as a patched release is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all affected Red Hat middleware instances with STOMP-over-TCP/WebSocket enabled, confirm applicability of CVE-2026-93494, restrict network access via firewall or security group rules to trusted sources only, and enable alerting on JVM heap and direct memory growth. …
